Voters in Texas’s 19th Congressional district are sending Jodey Arrington back to Washington D.C. for a fifth two-year term. Arrington claimed victory in the primary with 83% of the vote. Challenger Chance Ferguson drew the best result with 7.5%. In his second primary challenge to Arrington, Vance Boyd got 6%, and Ryan Zink got just 3.1%.
Arrington thanked his supporters in a statement after results were tallied, “ I am deeply honored and humbled by the support of the great people of West Texas, and I look forward to continuing our fight to rein in Washington, restore our freedoms, and advance West Texas values in our nation’s capital."
Arrington has held the seat since 2016 and is currently seeking re-election this November for his fifth term. He pledged to continue fighting to support the state’s ‘right of self-defense at the southern border’, and to stop what he described as the ‘Left’s lawlessness and socialist policies’. Arrington has been a strong supporter of former President Trump and had his endorsement for re-election.
No Democrats have mounted a challenge to Arrington for the general election.
