Last night was a strong night for the Second Amendment in Texas.

Freedom-minded Texans showed up, made their voices heard, and sent a clear message: Texans want leaders who will stand firmly for their constitutional rights.

GOA is proud to report an excellent performance from GOA-endorsed candidates across Texas.

One of the biggest results of the night came in Texas’ 2nd Congressional District, where State Representative Steve Toth defeated incumbent Dan Crenshaw.

Steve worked tirelessly throughout this campaign — knocking doors across CD-2, meeting voters face-to-face, and making the case for defending our constitutional rights. His victory is a testament to the power of grassroots engagement and Texans who refuse to compromise on the Second Amendment.

We also want to congratulate Nate Sheets on his successful primary bid for Texas Agriculture Commissioner and Don Huffines on his campaign win for Texas Comptroller. Both men crisscrossed Texas throughout this campaign working hard to fight for the future of Texas.

But the work is not finished.

Several critical races are now headed to the Texas Primary Runoff, and these next several weeks will determine the final outcome of several key races that will impact the future of the Second Amendment in Texas.

Runoff races where Second Amendment supporters will need to stay engaged include:

• Brandon Herrera for U.S House Congressional District 23
• Ken Paxton for Texas Senator
• Chip Roy for Texas Attorney General
• Briscoe Cain for U.S. House Congressional District 9
