TEXAS MIDTERM 2026
WHY THIS RACE MATTERS
There are nine Justices on the Texas Supreme Court, and unlike the U.S.
WHO’S RUNNING
Gisela Triana
Democrat
Triana has been a judge at every level Texas has — city court, justice of the peace, county court, 14 years running a district court, and now the appeals bench — and when Texas lawyers were polled on this race, they picked her over the sitting Republican justice. A mother of five, she started out prosecuting domestic-violence cases.
Brett Busby
Republican
He clerked for two U.S. Supreme Court justices — Byron White and John Paul Stevens — then built an appellate career in Houston before being appointed to the Texas Supreme Court in 2019.
