Democrat Christian Menefee has won a full term as U.S. representative for Texas' 18th Congressional District, according to the Associated Press. He defeated Republican Ronald Dwayne Whitfield in the Nov. 3 midterm election.
Menefee was first elected to Congress in a January 2026 special election runoff. That race followed the death of former Houston Mayor and U.S. Rep. Sylvester Turner. Menefee was sworn in in February 2026.
Menefee previously served as Harris County attorney, according to the report. His campaign website lists his priorities.
