Two candidates, Christian Menefee and Amanda Edwards, are competing in a runoff election to fill the vacant congressional seat representing Houston’s District 18. The seat has been unoccupied for an extended period, prompting a closely watched race between the two contenders.
The outcome of this runoff will determine who advances to the general election, shaping the political representation of one of Houston’s key districts.
**Why this matters**

The winner of this runoff will play a crucial role in addressing local and national issues affecting the district’s residents. This election also reflects broader political dynamics within the region.
