第18选区位于休斯顿地区,直至约30天前梅内菲赢得补选决选以接替前议员西尔维斯特·特纳(Sylvester Turner)之前,该选区一直缺乏稳定的代表。特纳在去年任期刚过两个月时去世,其补选决选是在原选区边界下进行的。

格林自2005年起一直代表第9选区的某个版本。在得克萨斯州中期选举重新划分选区后,他的住所和大部分现有选民被重新划入第18选区,因此他决定更换选区。

格林因激烈反对唐纳德·特朗普总统而闻名,有时甚至受到自己党内的批评。在上周的国情咨文演讲中,他因举着写有“黑人不是猿人!”的标语,在演讲开始仅几分钟后就被护送出会场。这是这位国会议员连续第二年因扰乱演讲而被逐出会议厅,共和党人和10名民主党人随后投票谴责他。

梅内菲是前哈里斯县检察官。

得克萨斯州州长格雷格·雅培(Greg Abbott)和得克萨斯州众议院共和党人于去年8月启动了最终成为全国中期重新划分选区行动的第一块多米诺骨牌。雅培最终签署了一项新的选区划分法案,旨在为共和党人在2026年至少增加5个众议院席位。第18选区被进一步倾向民主党化,并吸纳了原第9选区的大部分区域,而该选区在重新划分后变为共和党倾向。

Neither Green nor Menefee got more than 50% of the vote required to win outright on Tuesday. The runoff between Green and Menefee will be on May 26.

Advances to runoff

The 18th District, in the Houston area, was without consistent representation until about 30 days ago, when Menefee won a special election runoff to replace former Rep. Sylvester Turner, who died in office last year just over two months into his term. The runoff election occurred under the previous district lines.

Green has represented some iteration of the 9th District since 2005. He decided to switch districts after his home and most of his current constituents were redrawn into the 18th under Texas’ new congressional map after mid-decade redistricting.

Green is well-known for his fiery pushback against President Donald Trump, sometimes drawing criticism from his own party. At last week’s State of the Union, he was escorted out just minutes after the speech began for holding a sign reading “Black people aren’t apes!” That was the second year in a row the congressman was removed from the chamber for disrupting the speech, with Republicans and 10 Democrats later voting to censure him.

Menefee is the former Harris County attorney.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas state House Republicans kicked off what ended up being the first domino in a nationwide mid-decade redistricting effort in August of last year. Abbott eventually signed into law a new map that aimed to give Republicans at least five more House seats in 2026. The 18th District was made even more Democratic and absorbed much of the current 9th District, which became Republican leaning.
