Wesley Hunt, an Army combat veteran, won the Republican nomination for a House seat in one of Texas’s new congressional districts on Tuesday.

Texas was the only state that saw enough population growth in the 2020 census to add two new congressional seats to its delegation. The new 37th District leans Democratic, while the 38th, now won by Hunt, is heavily Republican.
