Who is my U.S. representative in TX-09?
Right now, Al Green (D) is still your sitting U.S. Representative for TX-09 — he's held the seat since 2005 and remains in office through the current term. But there's a wrinkle worth knowing: Texas redrew its congressional maps in 2025 (a mid-decade, GOP-led redistricting effort), and the new TX-09 boundaries shift the district from south Houston toward east Harris County and Republican-leaning Liberty County — a district that would have gone for Trump by 20 points under the new lines, versus voting for Harris by 44 points under the old ones. Because of that shift, Green chose to run for the neighboring, safely Democratic 18th District instead of seeking reelection in the new TX-09.

Who's on the ballot for the new TX-09 this November: Leticia Gutierrez won the Democratic nomination, and Alex Mealer and Briscoe Cain are heading to a Republican runoff — the general election is November 3, 2026.
