How Did Abbott and Paxton Do in the 2024 Republican Primary Election?

Governor Greg Abbott still wants the Texas Legislature to approve his signature agenda item: school vouchers. In response, he targeted several incumbents in the 2024 Republican primary election by supporting opponents who would vote for vouchers. Similarly, Attorney General Ken Paxton seeks revenge against many Republicans who supported his impeachment in the House of Representatives during the 88th Texas Legislature. Paxton endorsed candidates in Texas Republican primary elections who opposed his impeachment in the Texas House of Representatives. Here is a list of candidates for the Texas House who either did not seek reelection or who were targeted both by Abbott and Paxton.

Note: An asterisk (*) indicates the incumbent is not seeking reelection.
