WHO’S RUNNING
Frederick Haynes
Democrat
For more than 40 years he's led Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas, growing it from under 100 members in 1983 to over 13,000 today.
Everett Jackson
Republican
Before running for Congress, Jackson's eligibility to even be on the ballot for a 2025 DeSoto City Council runoff was publicly challenged after the city said he hadn't filed the paperwork required of a candidate with a past felony conviction — he wasn't disqualified and stayed in the race.
Oxford Nordberg
Independent
Oxford Nordberg is a Dallas entrepreneur running as an Independent, saying he's doing it because "no party has a monopoly on solutions."
