Denton County voters have delivered decisive victories for several Republican incumbents in Tuesday’s midterm elections, a result that underscores local confidence in the policies championed by President Trump’s administration. According to Community Impact, incumbent Rep. Ronny Jackson secured the Texas 13th congressional district with 158,134 votes, representing 65.26% of the total, after an early count showed him at 143,895 votes (67.48%). The increase in raw votes demonstrates sustained support despite a modest shift in percentage.
In the neighboring 26th district, Rep. Brandon Gill also maintained a solid lead, finishing with 182,648 votes (54.54%) compared with an early tally of 145,715 votes (54.09%). His opponent, Steven Shook, received 147,944 votes (44.93%) in the final count, up from 120,772 votes (44.93%) earlier, confirming the district’s preference for Gill’s conservative platform.
The race for the 32nd congressional district saw Jace Yarbrough emerge victorious with 142,834 votes (51.45%) after an early lead of 113,394 votes (50.19%). His challenger, Dan Barrios, garnered 134,781 votes (48.55%) in the final count, a slight increase from the early 112,534 votes (48.81%). Both outcomes reflect a trend of growing voter turnout for Republican candidates across the county.
State legislative contests mirrored the federal results. Incumbent Richard Hayes won Texas House District 57 with 40,254 votes (50.64%) after an early lead of 35,040 votes (50.22%). In District 63, Democrat‑aligned candidate Denise Wooten defeated incumbent Benjamin Bumgarner, securing 37,292 votes (51.06%) versus 35,738 votes (48.94%). Julie Evans captured District 64 with 31,491 votes (59.32%) over incumbent Andy Hopper’s 21,544 votes (40.68%). Incumbent Mitch Little retained District 65 with 47,265 votes (52.99%) against Detrick DeBurr’s 41,926 votes (47.01%). Finally, Rep. Jared Patterson held District 106 with 47,082 votes (51.54%) over Joe Mayes’ 44,267 votes (48.46%).
These results not only solidify Republican representation for Denton residents but also set the stage for the newly elected officials to begin their terms in January 2025, where they will work alongside President Trump’s administration to advance policies that support families, faith, and individual liberty. Voters can expect upcoming town‑hall meetings and constituent outreach as the winners transition into office.
