Texas's 35th Congressional District is a new district that was created as a result of the 2010 Census.[3] The first candidates ran in the 2012 House elections, were seated for the 113th United States Congress.[4] This election was won by Lloyd Doggett, who previously represented Texas's 25th congressional district before redistricting.[5] The shape of the district has been described as one of the ten most gerrymandered in the US.[6]

Texas's 35th Congressional District includes parts of the San Antonio metropolitan area, including portions of Bexar County, thin strips of Comal and Hays, and a portion of Caldwell county, as well as portions of southern and eastern Austin in Travis County.[7]
