Incumbent: No
Submitted Biography: "My name is Stuart Whitlow and I am running for Congress to retire John Carter and help restore Democrats to the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Democracy is on the ballot in 2024 — to protect the rights of ALL Texans we must elect a leader who will fight for the issues that matter most to our community: reproductive rights, Medicaid, constitutional rights, environmental protections, public education, expanding our economy, ending gun violence, protecting the rights of all Texans, and more.I’ve earned a BA from Southwestern, a Masters of Divinity from Vanderbilt, and joint degrees from UT’s LBJ School and UT Law, graduating with Honors. I’ve spent 35 years as an attorney and worked with the Texas Legal Services Center to provide legal help to over 7,000 Texans seeking free services. I also played a key role in starting the award-winning job training program “Capital Idea” and in expanding it into Williamson County. As a lifelong Democrat and Williamson and Bell County native, I will fight to restore our rights, protect our democracy, and deliver real results for CD 31."
Key Messages
To read this candidate's full survey responses,click here.
Democracy is on the ballot in 2024. When elected, Congresspeople take an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” But when our current Congressman voted to overturn President Biden’s victory he abandoned his oath in favor of partisan politics that do not serve our country or our community. I’m running for Congress to stand up to John Carter and deliver real results for CD 31 so that Americans born in this century will live in a Democracy where they’ll thrive.
From the State House to the U.S. House, our leaders have attacked the fundamental rights we hold dear in this country. As your next Congressman, I will work tirelessly to collaborate with my constituents and colleagues and get back to work on the issues that matter most to our community. I have two sons in college, and I want them to live in a country bound by civility, equality, and justice for ALL people. Instead of wasting precious legislative time, like taking 15 votes to elect a Speaker, Congress should focus on improving the lives of all Americans by addressing kitchen table issues — when I’m elected, I will do just that.
As a lifelong Democrat, voters can go to the polls knowing that I share their values and their priorities for our community. And as your congressman, I will fight for those values every single day. Congress must work to restore reproductive rights, advance healthcare, protect public education, defend our democracy, expand our economy, save our environment, end our gun violence pandemic, support equal rights for all Texans, and protect the freedoms guaranteed by our constitution.

Stuart Whitlow (D)
Integrity is paramount. An elected official must be honest, transparent, and accountable to the people they represent. Throughout my 35-year career as an attorney and my work with the Texas Legal Services Center, I have upheld these principles, providing legal assistance to over 7,000 Texans seeking free legal services and ensuring they receive the support and justice they deserve.
Commitment to justice involves fighting for the rights and dignity of all individuals. This means standing up against injustices, advocating for equality, and working tirelessly to ensure that our laws and policies reflect the values of fairness and equity. My work in founding the Capital Idea job-training program was driven by this commitment, aiming to provide Texans with the opportunities they need to improve their lives.
Dedication to serving the public good means putting the needs and welfare of our community above all else. As a lifelong Democrat and a native of Williamson and Bell County, I have always prioritized the well-being of my community.
Furthermore, an elected official must possess the ability to listen, empathize, and respond effectively to the needs of their constituents. This involves not only understanding the issues at hand but also being proactive in seeking solutions that address the root causes of our challenges.Stuart Whitlow (D)
I will work to craft laws that foster justice, equity, and opportunity, focusing on crucial issues like healthcare, education, democracy, immigration, inflation, and economic growth, and environmental protection. My commitment is to policies that benefit all in CD 31.
I will be a true voice for the district, actively engaging with constituents, understanding their concerns, and reflecting their aspirations in every legislative action. My deep roots and extensive community work in Texas have honed my ability to listen and advocate for our community’s needs.
Moreover, protecting democracy is essential — fighting against voter suppression, and upholding constitutional values. My campaign underscores democracy's significance, aiming to ensure fairness and uphold our democratic principles in Congress.Stuart Whitlow (D)

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Texas in 2024. Information below was calculated on 1/29/2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
In 2024, 164 candidates filed to run for Texas’ 38 U.S. House districts, including 63 Democrats and 101 Republicans. That was 4.3 candidates per district, the lowest number since 2016, when 3.5 candidates ran.
In 2022, the first election after the number of congressional districts in Texas increased from 36 to 38, 5.8 candidates ran per district. In 2020, 6.4 candidates ran, and 5.8 candidates ran in 2018.
The 164 candidates who ran in 2024 were also the fewest total number to run since 2016, when 127 candidates ran. One hundred candidates ran for Texas’ then-36 districts in 2014, the fewest in the decade, while 231 ran in 2020, the decade-high.
Three seats were open. That was the fewest since 2016, when two seats were open. Six seats were open in 2022 and 2020, and eight were in 2018—the decade-high.
Reps.Kay Granger (R-12th) andMichael Burgess (R-26th) retired from public office. Rep.Colin Allred (D-32nd) didn't seek re-election in order to run for the U.S. Senate. Fourteen candidates—10 Democrats and 4 Republicans—ran for the open 32nd district, the most candidates who ran for a seat in 2024.
Thirty-nine primaries—16 Democratic and 23 Republican—were contested this year. That was the fewest since 2016, when 33 were contested. There were 44 contested primaries in 2022, 50 in 2020, and 46 in 2018.
Nineteen incumbents—six Democrats and thirteen Republicans—faced primary challengers this year. That was the same number as 2022, and one more than in 2020.
Three districts—the 9th, the 20th, and the 30th—were guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed to run. Five were guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed to run—the 1st, the 11th, the 13th, the 19th, and the 25th.
