Four Texas House seats in Arlington will be decided by voters on November 3, 2026, with polls closing at 7 p.m. Democrat Junior Ezeonu defeated incumbent Chris Turner in the March primary with 52.6% of the vote and faces no general-election opponent in House District 101.
Why it matters
Open seats in House Districts 94 and 96 mean new representatives for these Arlington-area communities. A Democratic win in District 94 would break a streak dating to 1969.
The March primary result gives Ezeonu 52.6% of the vote over a 13-year incumbent, and no Republican has filed to oppose him in November. Final results for the three contested races remain unknown until polls close at 7 p.m. on November 3.
The players
Junior Ezeonu
Junior Ezeonu is a 26-year-old Democrat and former Grand Prairie City Council member who defeated incumbent Chris Turner in the March primary.
Salman Bhojani
Salman Bhojani is the Democratic incumbent in Texas House District 92, first elected in 2022.
Tony Tinderholt
Tony Tinderholt is a Republican who served 12 years as the District 94 representative before running for Tarrant County Commissioners Court Precinct 2.
The details
Voters will choose between Democratic incumbent Salman Bhojani and Republican JP Woodruff in District 92, Republican Cheryl Bean and Democrat Katie O'Brien Duzan in District 94, and Democrat Ebony Turner and Republican Ellen Fleischmann in District 96. Ezeonu, 26 and a former Grand Prairie City Council member, is awaiting confirmation of his seat in District 101.
