Texas

Republican incumbent Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and Governor Rick Perry have won re-election.

In the House elections, the Democrats won a key race in the 22nd district, where the Republicans were denied the option to replace disgraced former incumbent Tom DeLay on the ballot when he dropped out of the race late and had to field a write-in candidate.

In the 23rd district, where a last-minute re-drawing of the boundaries had increased the number of Hispanic voters, Democrat Ciro Rodriguez emerged as winner over Republican incumbent Henry Bonilla on 12 December, following a run-off vote.

SENATE

Incumbent Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison beat Democrat Barbara Ann Radnofsky. Texas's other Senate seat is held by Republican John Cornyn.
