Positions align with market-driven, pro–domestic energy approaches and prioritizing economic growth and national security in energy policy.

News
Paul Bondar is one of nine Republicans running in the primary for Texas’s 32nd Congressional District, a seat reshaped by redistricting and now seen as more favorable to Republicans. With such a crowded field, the race is expected to head to a runoff because no candidate is projected to clear 50% in the first round. Broader coverage of Texas House primaries highlights how redistricting is making several districts more competitive and shaping candidates’ strategies.
