With 100% of precincts reporting, both the Republican and Democratic primary contests for Texas House District 26 are headed to a runoff election in May, according to unofficial election results.

Matt Morgan and Jacey Jetton will be on the Republican runoff ballot in May. Morgan finished with 49.7%, or 7,983 votes, just short of the 50% threshold needed to avoid a runoff. Jetton garnered 40.67%, or 6,532 votes.

Leonard N. Chan, the other Republican in the race, received 9.63% or 1,547 votes.

Democrats Suleman Lalani and L. "Sarah" DeMerchant will be on their party's runoff ballot in May. Lalani garnered 31.68%, or 4,419 votes; while DeMerchant received 29.58%, or 4,126 votes.

Coming in third and fourth in Democratic primary, Lawrence Allen Jr. finished with 18.4%, or 2,567 votes; and Rish Oberoi finished with 20.33%, or 2,836 votes.

The winners of the May 26 runoff election will compete in the Nov. 3 general election.

While the district has historically elected a Republican representative, Republicans' margin of victory has shrunk in recent election cycles. In the 2018 general election, incumbent state Rep. Rick Miller, R-Sugar Land, received 52.5% of the vote, while DeMerchant, his Democratic challenger, received 47.5% of the vote. For comparison, in the 2014 general election, Miller won with 69.68% of the vote, and his Democratic challenger, Amber C. Paaso, received 30.32% of the vote.

Miller announced in December that he would not seek re-election to the seat after facing backlash for comments he made about his Republican challengers.

All results are unofficial until canvassed.
