TX-10: Democrat Mike Siegel declares victory in suburban Houston congressional district
Austin attorney Mike Siegel declared victory Tuesday over fellow Democrat Pritesh Gandhi in the 10th Congressional District, where they were vying to take on Republican incumbent U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul in the fall.
Siegel had a 10 percentage point lead with nearly 70 percent of votes tallied.
“Today's victory is owed to the unstoppable coalition that we've built here in the Congressional 10th district,” Siegel said in a virtual scrum with reporters.
A former public school teacher, Siegel nearly unseated McCaul in 2018 and is hoping to finish the job in November. He came out on top in a three-way primary in March, but faced strong opposition from Gandhi, a physician who runs a nonprofit clinic in Austin.
