Garcia tops Galindo in Texas 35 Democratic runoff after antisemitism controversy

Johnny Garcia defeated Maureen Galindo in the Texas 35th Democratic House runoff after Galindo’s antisemitic comments sparked widespread disavowal and outside spending against her. Garcia, backed by the Blue Dog Coalition, emerged as the stronger general-election candidate in a district that leans Republican. The DCCC spent about $35,000 against Galindo and Lead Left PAC contributed significantly to her campaign, though questions about its funding persisted. Garcia will face Republican Carlos De La Cruz in November, a race seen as competitive but helped by De La Cruz’s Trump endorsement in a district won by 55% for Trump in 2024.
