Texas's 38th congressional district, covering affluent west Houston suburbs and northwest Harris County areas, carries a strong Republican lean reflected in its R+10 or higher Partisan Voter Index and consistent double-digit margins for GOP presidential candidates in recent cycles. Multiple nonpartisan forecasters rate the November 3, 2026, general election Solid or Safe Republican following the open-seat contest created by incumbent Wesley Hunt's Senate bid. Jon Bonck secured the Republican nomination after winning the May 2026 primary runoff, while Melissa McDonough emerged as the Democratic nominee; third-party candidates remain on the ballot but pose limited threat. Stable race ratings through late August and limited Democratic fundraising relative to the Republican nominee reinforce trader expectations of a Republican hold.
