Texas 35th Congressional District

Trump-backed Air Force veteran Carlos de la Cruz is projected to win the GOP runoff in Texas’ 35th Congressional District against state lawmaker John Lujan. The newly redistricted, Trump-friendly district, now stretching to San Antonio, could see de la Cruz join his sister, Rep. Monica de la Cruz, in the House, mirroring historical sibling congressional pairs.

A Texas congressional race faces controversy as political ads mock Trump-backed veteran Carlos De La Cruz over his 100% disability rating, prompting condemnation from veterans. The Lujan-aligned PAC Protect and Serve accused De La Cruz of using his disability to avoid property taxes, despite his service in Iraq and Afghanistan and his role as a kickboxing gym owner. Veterans like Charlotte Neiner, a Wounded Warrior Project member, called the ad 'shameful' and a disgrace ahead of Memorial Day.
