Notable personal detailsTom Sell is a Republican candidate for U.S. House in Texas’ 19th Congressional District (2026 cycle). He is a West Texas small business owner and Texas Tech University graduate, with a B.S. in Agribusiness and a law degree. He previously worked for U.S. Rep. Larry Combest on the House Agriculture Committee and later co-founded a business with Combest in Lubbock. He is married to Kyla Sell and they have four children.
Tom Sell emphasizes strengthening rural health infrastructure — supporting rural hospitals, expanding telemedicine (paired with better broadband), and policies to attract doctors to rural communities. He frames healthcare fixes as focused on local access and hospital viability rather than proposing a specific federal insurance expansion or replacement.
Tom Sell’s campaign presents an “America-First” platform with a dedicated “Strong Immigration Policies” issue and he has expressed support for President Trump’s immigration and border-security efforts, calling them beneficial for Texas and urging cooperation with immigration officials. His public materials emphasize stronger border enforcement rather than expansions of legal pathways or broad regularization.
The candidate presents a pro-life position on his campaign website, listing "Protect Life" as one of his America‑First policy issue areas. No detailed policy text on specific exceptions or gestational limits was found on the pages accessed.
Supports policies prioritizing American energy production and 'energy dominance' with an America-First framing; emphasizes West Texas energy and agricultural interests rather than aggressive emissions regulation or Green New Deal–style policies.
The candidate’s campaign lists “Protect the Second Amendment” as a named issue and presents an America‑First platform emphasizing constitutional rights and law enforcement support. The campaign materials characterize the candidate as a conservative who defends gun ownership and the Second Amendment.
Public reporting confirms Tom Sell won the TX-19 GOP runoff, but his market fell from around 99% to about 92% over the last 24 hours. That combination suggests traders are repricing a lopsided contract rather than reacting to a new race development.
Fresh reporting says Tom Sell defeated Abraham Enriquez in the Texas-19 GOP runoff, confirming the nominee and leaving the market near ceiling; traders should now focus on whether any post-runoff repricing is just noise.
Tom Sell's odds are up 6.6 points and are now 96.8% in "TX-19 Republican nominee?" over a 3-day streak.
Tom Sell has won the Republican primary runoff for Texas’s 19th Congressional District, making him the GOP nominee for the West Texas seat. He is now set to face Democrat Kyle Rable in the November general election. The race is being watched as a likely Republican hold in a district covering Lubbock, Abilene, and Big Spring.
