Carlos De La Cruz, a gym owner and brother of U.S. representative Monica De La Cruz, is the Republican nominee for Texas's 35th congressional district in 2026. Redistricting moved the district south and east, and the seat has no incumbent after Democrat Greg Casar was drawn into the 37th district.

In an eleven-candidate Republican primary De La Cruz finished second with 26.8% of the vote behind state representative John Lujan, then defeated Lujan in the runoff with 57.6%. In the general election on November 3, 2026, De La Cruz faces Democrat Johnny Garcia, a Bexar County sheriff's deputy.
