A Short Overview
Texas has trended Republican at the statewide level for decades, but rapid growth in urban and suburban areas has made several races increasingly competitive. Cultural identities vary widely between conservative rural counties and more progressive cities like Austin and Houston. Immigration, energy policy (especially oil and gas), and education are defining issues. Changing demographics make Texas a long-term battleground, even if GOP holds a structural advantage.
