Collin County turnout and statewide races
Nearly 58% of registered Collin County voters cast ballots in the statewide races that will change leadership in Austin and send the first Democrat to the U.S. Senate since Sen. Lloyd Bentsen was elected in 1988. According to unofficial returns, local voters gave James Talarico a 55%‑43% victory over Attorney General Ken Paxton, mirroring his statewide margin.
County residents cast 460,900 ballots, including 9,433 by mail, 374,676 during early voting and 76,791 on Election Day. In other top statewide races, Collin County voters favored Gina Hinojosa over Gov. Greg Abbott by more than 51% of the vote; Vicki Goodwin over Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick; Nathan Johnson over Mayes Middleton for attorney general; Sarah Eckhardt over Comptroller Don Huffines; Benjamin Flores over Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham; Clayton Tucker over Nate Sheets for agriculture commissioner; and Jon Rosenthal over Bo French for railroad commissioner.
Republican Congressman Keith Self was re‑elected to a third term in the 3rd District, even though he was narrowly out‑polled in his home county of Collin by Democratic challenger Evan Hunt. Voters in Hunt, Delta, Franklin, Hopkins, Morris and Titus counties gave Self an overall 169,243‑151,667 edge, or 52.70% to 47.30%.
Statehouse race in District 89
In the Texas House, District 89 Republican Rep. Candy Noble was defeated by Democrat Angie Carraway, 50.80% to 49.20%. Carraway received 44,156 votes to 42,764 for Noble. The district includes parts of Plano, Parker, Wylie, St. Paul, Lucas, Fairview, Lowry Crossing, Princeton, Lavon, Nevada and Josephine.
“The results of the election were not what we had worked for, not what we had planned, and not what we had expected,” Noble said. “But at the end of the day I’m so richly blessed, and I have no regrets. I worked to the very best of my abilities and consider it joy to have run and served.”

Voters also rejected bond proposals from Collin County and Collin College. Collin County Proposition A, which would have provided $296.5 million for court and detention facility projects, received 37.41% support and 62.59% opposition.
