Voting is the most direct way we shape our communities and hold leaders accountable. Elected officials make decisions on education, healthcare, infrastructure, and local development: issues that affect families daily. In a diverse and growing district like HD 26, every voice matters. When people don’t participate, critical decisions are made without reflecting the full community’s needs and priorities.

HD 26 is one of the most diverse, highly educated, and economically strong districts in Texas. These strengths mean residents have a powerful opportunity to influence state policy, but only if we vote. With so many young families, professionals, and a vibrant multicultural community, higher voter participation will ensure leadership reflects the district’s real priorities.

House District 26 was redrawn ahead of the 2022 election. The new district lines include a significant portion of HD 28’s former layout. This gerrymandered district map marginalizes the Democratic vote in the district and alters the demographics of the area. Using 2020 data, the Democratic vote went from a 3.2% lead to 11.1% loss. We saw that play out in real-time.
