Speaking of political donations, formerU.S. Rep. Colin Allred has outraised U.S. Rep. Julie Johnson ahead of their runoff in the 33rd Congressional District.
Why it matters: North Texas lost a Democratic-leaning congressional district under the GOP-led redistricting process, creating musical chairs among Democrats for the remaining districts.
Driving the news: The primary runoffs are on May 26.
State of politics: The winner of Allred and Johnson's runoff will face President Trump-backed Republican Jace Yarbrough.
The 33rd District was reshaped during redistricting but remains solidly Democratic, per Cook Political Report.
The latest: Allred for Texas received nearly $1 million in contributions in the first quarter of 2026 and finished the period with about $679,000 on hand, per his latest FEC filing.
Johnson received about $759,000 and finished the quarter with about $487,000 on hand, per her FEC filing.
Catch up quick: U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Fort Worth) currently represents the 33rd but decided not to run for reelection after he was drawn of the district.
Johnson, who currently represents the 32nd District, decided to run in the 33rd after her district was redrawn to stretch into East Texas.
Allred was pursuing the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate but dropped out and decided to run for the 33rd instead.
