Biography & Campaign Analysis

2026 race

Chris Gober, a political-law attorney and former director and chief lawyer of Elon Musk's America PAC, is the Republican nominee for Texas's 10th congressional district in 2026.

The seat is open because Republican incumbent Michael McCaul, re-elected in 2024 with 63.6% of the vote, is forgoing reelection, and the district was redrawn during Texas's 2025 mid-decade congressional redistricting.

The new 10th stretches from downtown and western Austin through the Bryan-College Station area to a rural part of east-central Texas. Gober won the ten-candidate Republican primary outright with 51.2% of the vote, ahead of businessman Ben Bius with 14.0%.

In the general election on November 3, 2026, Gober faces Democrat Caitlin Rourk, a U.S. Army veteran and former Dell Technologies global-marketing employee.
