Las elecciones a la Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos de 2018 en Texas se llevaron a cabo el martes 6 de noviembre de 2018. Los votantes eligieron a los 36 representantes estadounidenses del estado de Texas , uno de cada uno de los 36 distritos congresuales del estado . Las elecciones coincidieron con las elecciones de otros cargos, incluida la elección de gobernador , así como otras elecciones a la Cámara de Representantes, elecciones al Senado de los Estados Unidos y varias elecciones estatales y locales . Las primarias se llevaron a cabo el 6 de marzo y las segundas vueltas se llevaron a cabo el 22 de mayo.
En 2018, por primera vez en al menos 25 años, el Partido Demócrata de Texas presentó al menos un candidato en cada uno de los 36 distritos del Congreso del estado. [1] La delegación del Congreso estatal cambió de una mayoría republicana de 25-11 a una mayoría republicana de 23-13, la mayor cantidad de escaños que los demócratas habían ganado en el estado desde 2006. Los demócratas ganaron casi el 47% de los votos, probablemente debido al efecto de la candidatura al Senado del representante Beto O'Rourke , en la que ganó el 48,3% de los votos, pero también porque cuatro titulares demócratas no enfrentaron oposición republicana en sus elecciones generales.
La participación también fue más del doble que en las últimas elecciones de mitad de período.

Because Texas's 22nd congressional district is one of the most diverse in Texas, the Kulkarni campaign took the unorthodox approach of reaching out to infrequent voters in their own neighborhoods and languages,[124][125] including Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil and Mandarin.[126] If elected, Kulkarni would have become the first Asian-American ever to serve in the Texas congressional delegation.[127]
