## Resource

Texas is poised to send a record four Republican women to Congress this November, fueled by new district maps, retiring incumbents, and a surge in female candidates ready to run. Alex Mealer and Jessica Steinmann are top contenders in GOP-leaning districts, while Monica De La Cruz faces a tough battle and Beth Van Duyne holds a safer seat. Martha Fierro and Lauren Pena, running in heavily Democratic districts, are seen as long shots. Groups like Winning for Women are backing these women with funding and mentorship, aiming to build a sustainable pipeline of female GOP lawmakers. Redistricting has opened doors for new voices—especially mothers balancing careers and family—while campaigns also seek to broaden appeal to suburban women, ensuring these women not only win but represent diverse perspectives effectively.
