News
Paul Bondar is running in the crowded Republican primary for Texas’ 32nd Congressional District. The race is in a newly redrawn, more Republican-leaning district, and it is expected to go to a runoff because no candidate is likely to win outright. The broader redistricting push has made the seat less competitive and is shaping the contest he is part of.
