Jessica Steinmann won the Republican primary in Texas’s 8th Congressional District, earning her party’s nomination to run in the November general election. The 8th District, which includes northern and northwestern exurbs of Houston, is a heavily Republican seat where GOP nominees have historically performed strongly in general elections.

Steinmann, an attorney and first‑time congressional candidate, entered the race to replace outgoing Representative Morgan Luttrell, who chose not to seek re‑election. Her campaign received a major boost with an endorsement from President Donald Trump, signaling strong national support and solidifying her standing among conservative voters.

The field included several Republican contenders, including Jay Fondren, Stephen Long, Nick Tran, and Deddrick Wilmer. Steinmann’s fundraising lead and backing from national and state figures helped her secure the nomination.

Texas’s 8th District is considered a safe Republican seat, and Steinmann’s nomination is expected to keep the district in GOP hands in the general election. The district voted strongly for Republican presidential and Senate candidates in recent cycles.
