Campaign
Ahead of the March primary election, Democrats announced that they had recruited candidates to run in every state and federal race on the ballot, including all 150 House of Representatives districts, a first for either political party in the state's modern history. Governor Greg Abbott pushed to recruit candidates to run in every district in Harris County as well, as part of an attempt to flip the county in his concurrent gubernatorial campaign.[25] With bolstered recruiting in several Trump-won districts in the heavily-Hispanic Rio Grande Valley as well, Republicans are contesting 133 of the state's 150 districts, the most in their party's modern history as well.
