Rep. Christian Menefee (D-TX) was sworn in Monday to represent the voters of Texas’s 18th Congressional District, bringing Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) already razor-thin margin even narrower.
Menefee won a runoff against Amanda Edwards on Saturday to succeed the late Rep. Sylvester Turner for the Houston-based seat. Turner died in March 2025, and the seat has been Vacant for nearly a year.
