Receipts, cash on hand, and outside (independent-expenditure) spending from the Federal Election Commission. Bars are scaled within this race. Open in the sense that no incumbent advanced: Republican incumbent Dan Crenshaw was defeated in the March 3 primary by state Rep. Steve Toth. Crenshaw was the first U.S. House member to lose renomination in the 2026 cycle. The field and its fundraising will keep updating as primaries settle and new FEC reports land.
The rating is grounded in this seat’s record on Akashic — its partisan lean, same-office history, and demographics. Read the full profile on the TX-02 place page.
