Выборы в Палату представителей США 2018 года в Техасе состоялись во вторник, 6 ноября 2018 года. Избиратели выбрали 36 представителей США от штата Техас , по одному от каждого из 36 избирательных округов штата . Выборы совпали с выборами на другие должности, включая выборы губернатора , а также с другими выборами в Палату представителей, выборами в Сенат США и различными государственными и местными выборами . Праймериз прошли 6 марта, а второй тур — 22 мая.
В 2018 году, впервые за последние 25 лет, Демократическая партия Техаса выдвинула по крайней мере одного кандидата в каждом из 36 избирательных округов штата. [1] Делегация штата в Конгрессе изменилась с 25–11 республиканского большинства до 23–13 республиканского большинства, что является наибольшим количеством мест, которые демократы выиграли в штате с 2006 года . Демократы получили почти 47% голосов, вероятно, из-за эффекта нисходящего голосования по кандидатуре представителя Бето О'Рурка в Сенат , где он получил 48,3% голосов, а также потому, что четыре действующих демократа не столкнулись с оппозицией со стороны республиканцев на своих всеобщих выборах.
Явка также выросла более чем вдвое по сравнению с последними промежуточными выборами.

Campaign
Because Texas's 22nd congressional district is one of the most diverse in Texas, the Kulkarni campaign took the unorthodox approach of reaching out to infrequent voters in their own neighborhoods and languages,[124][125] including Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil and Mandarin.[126] If elected, Kulkarni would have become the first Asian-American ever to serve in the Texas congressional delegation.[127]
