The redrawn Texas 35th Congressional District, an open seat after mid-decade redistricting shifted lines to favor Republicans by a Cook PVI of R+4, remains a toss-up heading into the November 3 general election. Democrat Johnny Garcia, a Bexar County sheriff’s deputy with endorsements from state and national party figures, has benefited from strong fundraising and messaging on law enforcement and affordability amid early voting through October 30. Republican Carlos De La Cruz, an Air Force veteran and brother of Rep. Monica De La Cruz, secured the nomination with Trump’s backing but contends with competitive polling averages and substantial outside spending on both sides. Recent forecaster updates, including shifts to toss-up ratings, align with trader consensus reflected in current market pricing for this closely contested race.
