In the 2024 House race for TX-12, Craig Goldman (R) defeated Trey J. Hunt (D) 63.5% to 36.5%. Craig Goldman received 215,564 votes compared to 124,154 for Trey J. Hunt, a dominant 26.9-point margin reflecting a safely partisan district.

This was an open-seat race with no incumbent running — Kay Granger (R) previously held the seat. Open seats typically attract stronger candidates and heavier spending from both parties. The 2024 presidential election drove higher voter turnout, which can help or hurt down-ballot candidates depending on the top of the ticket. The wide margin suggests this district is firmly in the Republican column for the foreseeable future.
