Democratic candidates Christian Dashaun Menefee and Amanda Edwards are vying for Congressional District 18 in a special runoff election Jan. 31.

Some context: As previously reported by Community Impact, a special election was held in November to fill the vacant congressional seat following the death of incumbent Sylvester Turner in March.

The special election, which had 16 candidates, resulted in a runoff election between the top two vote-getters: Menefee and Edwards. The winner of the special runoff election will serve Congressional District 18 for the remainder of Turner's unexpired term, which ends in January 2027.

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives are elected for a two-year term with no term limits.

Stay tuned: Community Impact will update this article as more Election Day vote totals are released. All results are unofficial until canvassed.
