Texas's 9th congressional district, long held by Democrat Al Green, underwent significant redistricting that shifted its partisan composition toward Republicans ahead of the 2026 cycle. Green opted to run in the neighboring 18th district, leaving an open seat. Republican Alex Mealer secured the nomination after prevailing in the May 26 runoff against state Rep. Briscoe Cain, bolstered by endorsements and fundraising strength. Democrat Leticia Gutierrez emerged from her party's primary. Cook Political Report now classifies the race as solidly Republican, with recent University of Houston polling reflecting a substantial GOP edge. Traders price the Republican outcome at 80% as these structural and candidate-specific factors align to favor that party in the November general election.
