By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Christian Menefee has defeated U.S. Representative Al Green in the Democratic primary runoff for Houston's newly redrawn 18th Congressional District. Menefee secured 68.6% of the vote, ending Green's two-decade tenure in Congress. The race was marked by sharp exchanges, with Green accusing Menefee of accepting contributions from a crypto super PAC, which Menefee dismissed as desperate. Menefee will now face Republican nominee Ronald Whitfield in the general election. AI
