Race between Colin Allred, Julie Johnson for Texas' 33rd congressional district heats up

The Democratic primary race for the newly drawn 33rd congressional district pits a current member of Congress against a former member of Congress. Julie Johnson currently represents the 32nd district, a seat Colin Allred gave up when he ran for US Senate in 2024. Now both are head-to-head for the new seat.  FOX 4’s Steven Dial spoke to both candidates over Zoom to get a better picture of the race.

Julie Johnson was trying to get reelected in this district. She was challenged in the Democratic primary by Colin Allred, who held Johnson’s seat before challenging for Senate in 2024. They also faced Zeeshan Hafeez, an attorney and technology executive, and community activist Carlos Quintanilla.

For the Republicans, conservative aerospace technical writer Patrick Gillespie was facing Monte "Doc" Mitchell, a physician and seminarian, Kurt Schwab, a combat veteran, USO director, and nonprofit leader, and John Sims, a first responder and volunteer who has also worked with several youth organizations.
