TEXAS MIDTERM 2026
WHY THIS RACE MATTERS
The 15th Court of Appeals didn't exist two years ago.
WHO’S RUNNING
Marc Meyer
Democrat
Meyer spent 25 years as a Houston firefighter and a registered nurse before he ever went to law school — and he's running against one of the three unelected judges Abbott installed on the new court.
April Farris
Republican
Farris spent her career arguing the State of Texas's side — as an Assistant Solicitor General defending state laws in court, then clerking for one of the most conservative federal judges in the country — before Abbott installed her on the new 15th Court in 2024.
