In 2018, the Republican incumbent won re-election to Texas House District 138 by a razor-thin 0.1 percent margin, making this race a target for Democrats hoping to flip the Texas House this November. We’re keeping a close eye on this race and all 27 races that were decided by 10 percentage points or less, making them battleground elections in 2020.

Sincerely,

Each week we bring you a noteworthy number from the money in Texas politics. While HD 138 is the battleground race with the narrowest win last cycle, there were three more races with less than a one percent margin of victory.
