Both Johnson and Allred previously represented Texas Congressional District 32, and now they’re competing for Congressional District 33. Allred served as the U.S. representative for Texas’s 32nd congressional district from 2019 to 2025.

Johnson was elected to the seat in 2024, the year Allred lost his U.S. Senate challenge to Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.
