Texas will hold its 2022 primary elections March 1. Here are all of the candidates who have filed for the Democratic and Republican primary elections, according to the Secretary of State. Each party will choose its candidate for seven statewide seats — governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, land commissioner, agriculture commissioner, comptroller and one of three seats on the Railroad Commission. Republicans and Democrats will also choose their candidates to face off in November for district-based congressional and legislative offices, the State Board of Education and judicial seats.
Early voting begins Feb. 14. If no candidate receives a majority of the vote in the primary, the top two vote-getters will compete in a runoff May 24. Texas is an open-primary state, so voters can decide every two years whether to pick Republican or Democratic nominees (or hold out and go to third-party conventions).
Of note: Whatever primary you decide to vote in, you can vote only in that same party’s runoff. You can vote for either party's candidate in the general election.
Candidates are listed in alphabetical order in this ballot guide. Elections in Texas are run by 254 different counties, and each county determines the order of candidate names on ballots printed there. To see the ballot order for the primary in each county, visit the Texas Secretary of State’s site.
You’ll also see county and local elections on your ballot. Sample ballots for specific counties can be found through the list of county websites maintained by the Texas Secretary of State’s office.

Texas Senate
Every seat in the 31-member Texas Senate is up for election this year because the districts were
redrawn by current legislators. Sixteen Republican incumbents were drawn into safe districts for reelection, and two additional Senate seats being vacated by Republicans would almost certainly go to new GOP candidates over Democrats next year based on the percentage of voters in the district who voted for Donald Trump over Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential race. Senators serve four-year terms.

Texas House
There are 150 members of the Texas state House. Each state representative serves a two-year term. The election takes place under a new map
drawn by current legislators which creates 85 districts that would have favored Trump in 2020 and 65 that would have voted for Biden. The current partisan breakdown of the House is 83 Republicans and 67 Democrats, though Trump won only 76 of the current districts in 2020.

Corrections: An earlier version of this page did not list the following candidates as incumbents: Marisa Perez-Diaz, State Board of Education District 3; Aicha Davis, State Board of Education District 13; Phil W. Stephenson, state House District 85; Ana-Maria Ramos, state House District 102; E. Sam Harless, state House District 126; Lacey Hull, state House District 138; and Valoree Swanson, state House District 150. In addition, it incorrectly identified state House District 23 candidate Terri Leo Wilson as Teresa Leo-Wilson.
An earlier version of this page did not clarify that candidate James Whitfield withdrew from the Democratic primary for State Board of Education District 11 after the deadline to be removed from the ballot.
An earlier version of this page incorrectly stated that the Texas Department of Agriculture regulates fuel pumps in the state. Regulation of fuel pumps was transferred to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in 2020.
