前美国职业棒球大联盟明星马克·特谢拉（Mark Teixeira）在得克萨斯州西南部的共和党初选中胜出，成功接替共和党众议员奇普·罗伊（Chip Roy）的席位。
特谢拉以超过61%的选票锁定胜局，在有12名候选人的初选中无需进入决选。
特谢拉于去年8月宣布参选孤星州第21国会选区席位。该席位目前由罗伊持有，而罗伊已表示将竞选得克萨斯州总检察长。
特谢拉宣布参选的消息，是在得克萨斯州共和党立法者通过一项重新划分选区地图之后几天。该地图旨在加强共和党在2026年选举中的地位。
总统唐纳德·特朗普在此次竞选中支持特谢拉，而特谢拉承诺将与总统合作，确保边境安全并结束他所谓的”激进的觉醒式洗脑”。
支持特谢拉的俱乐部增长政治行动委员会（Club for Growth PAC）及其附属超级政治行动委员会已为其竞选投入超过25万美元，并对他的初选胜利表示赞赏。该委员会主席大卫·麦金托什（David McIntosh）表示，该组织”为支持特谢拉参选感到自豪”。
麦金托什称：”在竞选活动中，马克·特谢拉概述了他降低税收、削减繁文缛节并为得克萨斯州每个家庭扩大教育自由的计划。选民相信他的愿景，并以共和党提名回报了他。”
特谢拉于2001年美国职业棒球大联盟选秀中以第五顺位被选中，职业生涯始于得克萨斯游骑兵队。他的14个赛季生涯中包括三次全明星入选、五次金手套奖、三次银棒奖，以及2009年随纽约洋基队获得的世界大赛冠军。特谢拉在2021年退役后与家人搬回得克萨斯州。
特谢拉击败了共和党对手丹尼尔·贝茨（Daniel Betts）。贝茨去年曾竞选特拉维斯县地方检察官但未成功。
第21国会选区覆盖奥斯汀和圣安东尼奥以西的共和党占主导地位的地区。
在民主党方面，克里斯汀·胡克博士（Dr. Kristin Hook）在周二晚上的初选中以约61%的得票率领先，这为11月的大选对决奠定了基础。
特谢拉称此次初选胜利是”巨大的胜利”。
“我们将在11月发起强有力的竞选并大胜，然后立即着手为得克萨斯州家庭奋斗，”特谢拉说，”再次感谢第21选区的选民。愿上帝保佑得克萨斯，愿上帝保佑美国。”

Mark Teixeira wins Texas GOP primary for 21st District seat | Fox News

Former Major League Baseball star Mark Teixeira has clinched the Republican primary to succeed GOP Rep. Chip Roy in southwest Texas.
Teixeira secured more than 61% of the vote, avoiding a runoff in the 12-candidate primary field.
Teixeira announced his candidacy for the Lone Star State’s 21st Congressional District seat last August. The seat is currently held by Roy, who has said he is running for Texas attorney general.
The announcement of Teixeira’s campaign came days after Republican state lawmakers approved a redistricting map aimed at strengthening the GOP’s position in the 2026 election.

President Donald Trump endorsed Teixeira in the race, and Teixeira pledged to work with the president to secure the border and end what he described as “radical woke indoctrination.”
The Club for Growth PAC, which — along with affiliated super PACs — contributed more than $250,000 to Teixeira’s candidacy, applauded his primary victory. Club for Growth PAC President David McIntosh said the group was “proud to have supported Teixeira in the race.”

“On the campaign trail, Mark Teixeira outlined his plan to lower taxes, cut red tape, and expand school freedom for every family in Texas. Voters believed in his vision, and rewarded him with the Republican nomination,” McIntosh said.
Teixeira began his MLB career with the Texas Rangers after being selected fifth overall in the 2001 MLB Draft. His 14-season career included three All-Star selections, five Gold Gloves, three Silver Slugger Awards and a World Series title with the New York Yankees in 2009. Teixeira and his family moved back to Texas in 2021 after he retired from baseball.

Teixeira defeated fellow Republican candidate Daniel Betts, who ran unsuccessfully for Travis County district attorney last year.
The 21st Congressional District covers a heavily Republican area west of Austin and San Antonio.
On the Democratic side, Dr. Kristin Hook was leading the primary field with roughly 61% of the vote Tuesday night, setting up a general election matchup in November.
Teixeira described his primary win as a “huge victory.”
“We’re going to run a strong race and win big in November, then hit the ground running to fight for Texas families,” Teixeira said. “Thank you again, TX-21. God bless Texas, and God bless America.”
