On Nov. 3, Plano-area voters cast ballots in the general election, determining representation in the Texas House and Collin County offices—decisions that directly affect local schools, roads, public safety and community services.
In Texas House District 67, Republican incumbent Jeff Leach narrowly retained his seat, receiving 42,566 votes (50.12%) to Democrat Jordan Wheatley’s 42,363 votes (49.88%). The margin was just 203 votes, with Leach overcoming an early‑voting deficit on Election Day, according to Plano Magazine.
Republican incumbent Matt Shaheen held his District 66 seat, which includes portions of Plano, with 47,373 votes (55.45%) against Democrat Sandeep Srivastava’s 38,059 votes (44.55%).
Democratic incumbent Mihaela Plesa also kept her District 70 seat, earning 37,948 votes (58.32%) compared with Republican George Flint’s 27,120 votes (41.68%).
In District 89, Democrat Angie Carraway defeated Republican incumbent Candy Noble, receiving 44,156 votes (50.80%) to Noble’s 42,764 votes (49.20%). The two candidates were separated by 1,392 votes.
For the Collin County portion of the 3rd Congressional District, Democrat Evan Hunt garnered 134,580 votes (51.19%) while Republican incumbent Keith Self received 128,340 votes (48.81%). The district extends beyond Collin County, so these totals alone do not determine the overall winner.
At the county level, Republican incumbent Chris Hill retained the county judge position with 217,401 votes (50.22%) over Democrat John R. Buster Brown’s 215,538 votes (49.78%). Republican Stacey Kemp led the county clerk race with 215,913 votes, ahead of Democrat John Russell’s 205,598. Democrat Julie Holmer topped the Precinct 4 county commissioner race with 56,177 votes versus Republican Shelby Williams’ 49,198.
Collin County reported 460,900 ballots cast, representing approximately 57.91% voter turnout.
All results remain unofficial until canvassed. Final certification is expected in the coming weeks, after which newly elected officials will begin shaping policies that impact Plano residents daily.
