Al Green Faces Strong Primary Challenge

Al Green, the 78-year-old incumbent of Texas' newly redrawn 18th Congressional District, is facing a strong primary challenge from 37-year-old Christian Menefee ahead of the upcoming Democratic primary. Menefee won a recent runoff and leads by a reported 24-point favorability gap (52% to 28%), while outside group Fairshake has spent about $1.5 million against Green. The race reflects generational tensions, redistricting fallout, and voter demand for specific local policies.
