Beyond the 806
10 House incumbent lawmakers who saw their 2026 re-election bids end in primary defeat - Fox News

Three Texas U.S.
Three Texas U.S. House representatives, including prominent Republican Dan Crenshaw, lost their primary bids, creating unexpected shifts in the state's political landscape for the 2026 election cycle.
Voters across the country ousted ten incumbent House members in the recent primaries. Texas saw a particularly notable upheaval, with three of those losses right here in our state. Beyond Crenshaw, who represented parts of Houston, veteran Democrat Al Green from another Houston district also fell short. Dallas-area representative Julie Johnson likewise lost her race, surprising many political observers. This outcome marks a substantial turn of events. Redistricting after the last census forced these familiar faces into much tougher fights, making re-election far from a sure thing.
