The newly redrawn Texas 35th Congressional District, an open seat along the I-35 corridor with a Republican-leaning partisan index and Hispanic-majority electorate, features a tight contest between Democrat Johnny Garcia and Republican Carlos De La Cruz ahead of the November 3 general election. Garcia, a Bexar County sheriff’s deputy with law enforcement experience, advanced through the Democratic runoff and positions himself as a moderate focused on affordability, utility costs, and local grants. De La Cruz, an Air Force veteran backed by President Trump in the Republican runoff, emphasizes border enforcement and economic measures. Recent polling averages show the candidates separated by just 1-2 points in a toss-up environment, while early voting and outside spending patterns contribute to trader consensus reflected in current market pricing. Upcoming resolution depends on final vote counts and turnout in key San Antonio-area precincts.
