The redrawn Texas 35th district, adjusted in 2025 to favor Republicans based on 2024 voting patterns, features an open seat with nominees Johnny Garcia (D), a Bexar County sheriff’s deputy, and Carlos De La Cruz (R), an Air Force veteran. Late August polling showed the candidates essentially tied at 44-45 percent with sizable undecided voters. Both parties’ super PACs have committed resources to the contest ahead of the November 3 general election, sustaining competitiveness in a district with a large Hispanic population and mixed urban-rural makeup along the I-35 corridor. These factors have produced trader consensus favoring narrow margins of victory on either side rather than decisive outcomes.
