Across the three districts, Republican candidates raked in more than $1 million, dwarfing the $243,000 reported by their Democratic foes.

Herrero’s seat — which covers part of Corpus Christi and spreads west — would have gone to Biden by 10 points in 2020. Herrero was most recently reelected by a 15-point margin, running well ahead of O’Rourke’s 5-point edge over Abbott. Replacing Herrero on the ballot is Democrat Solomon Ortiz, Jr., who represented Corpus Christi in the House from 2006 to 2011. He faces Republican Denise Villalobos, who outraised Ortiz, Jr., nearly four to one in the latest reporting period.
