TX-31: Donna Imam to face Rep. John Carter in Texas's 31 Congressional District election

AUSTIN, Texas — Democrat Donna Imam defeated opponent Christine Eady Mann in Texas’s 31st Congressional District primary runoff election on Tuesday after Mann conceded.

Imam will be up against Republican incumbent John Carter in November’s general election.
Carter has served as the representative for the district since its creation in 2002, making it one of two districts in Texas that has never had a representative from the Democratic Party.

Imam, a computer engineer, has made climate change a top campaign issue, calling for a restoration of regulations that were rolled back by the Trump administration. She has also focused on the economic anxiety of middle- and working-class families, students, recent graduates and retirees on a fixed income.
