据 Decision Desk HQ 预测，莱蒂西亚·古铁雷斯（民主党）将在得克萨斯州第 9 选区击败亚历克斯·米勒（共和党）。古铁雷斯以 14 个百分点领先米勒，目前已统计 78% 的选票。
Leticia Gutierrez (D) is projected to defeat Alex Mealer (R) in Texas’s 9th District, according to Decision Desk HQ. Gutierrez is leading Mealer by 14 points with 78 percent reporting, per DDHQ.
古铁雷斯将接替众议员阿尔·格林（民主党-得克萨斯州）代表第 9 选区。在州议员去年重划格林的休斯顿地区选区以利于共和党后，格林在第 18 选区的民主党初选决选中败给了众议员克里斯蒂安·梅内菲（民主党-得克萨斯州）。古铁雷斯曾任休斯顿市议会幕僚长，是一名环保倡导者。她在拥挤的民主党初选中获得 53% 的选票，于今年早些时候赢得提名。
Gutierrez will succeed Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) in representing the 9th District. After state lawmakers redrew Green’s Houston-area district last year to favor the GOP, Green lost to Rep. Christian Menefee (D-Texas) in the 18th District’s Democratic primary runoff. Gutierrez is the former chief of staff for the Houston City Council and an environmental advocate. She secured 53 percent of the vote in a crowded Democratic primary to secure the nomination earlier this year.
米勒在陆军服役五年，军衔上尉。退役后，她在休斯顿从事投资银行工作，专注于石油天然气交易。她还曾于 2024 年和 2025 年担任哈里斯县大都会交通局董事会公共安全委员会主席，拥有地方治理经验。在今年早些时候的共和党初选决选中，米勒在特朗普总统的背书下击败了得克萨斯州众议员布里斯科·凯恩（共和党）。
Mealer served in the Army for five years, reaching the rank of captain. After her service ended, she worked in the investment banking sector in Houston, focusing on oil and gas transactions. She also has local governing experience from her time as public safety chair on the board of the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County in 2024 and 2025. Mealer defeated Texas state Rep. Briscoe Cain (R) in the GOP primary runoff earlier this year with President Trump’s endorsement.
