Ryan Binkley (R) and Jace Yarbrough (R) are running in the Republican primary runoff for Texas' 32nd Congressional District. Yarbrough and Binkley were the top two finishers in the March 3 primary with 49.0% and 21.7% of the vote, respectively. They advanced to the runoff because neither received more than 50% of the vote.
The runoff is taking place in the context of Texas' August 2025 redistricting. An Inside Elections analysis of the new district lines said the 32nd District "stretches from the Dallas suburbs deep into conservative East Texas." Incumbent Julie Johnson (D) is running for re-election in the 33rd District.
Binkley is the chief executive of a mergers and acquisitions firm and the senior pastor of Create Church in Houston. Binkley ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024. In his Candidate Connection survey, Binkley says he is running because "we are facing a financial crisis in our nation that is threatening the future of the next generation. We have the highest debt to GDP ratio in our nation’s history and we need leaders in Congress to address this challenge with strategic plans and wisdom."
Yarbrough is an attorney specializing in constitutional law and the co-founder of Saint Francis Academy. President Donald Trump (R) endorsed Yarbrough on February 4, 2026. In a statement following the primary, Yarbrough said, "[a]s President Trump’s endorsed candidate in this race, I will continue working hard in the weeks ahead to unite Republicans across TX-32 so we can win this runoff, focus on the general election, and keep this seat in conservative hands."
As of March 2026, major election forecasters rated the general election Solid/Safe Republican.
