Craig Goldman, a businessman and Texas state legislator, has secured a decisive victory in his congressional bid for North Texas, increasing the count of Jewish Republicans in the U.S. Congress to three for the first time in over a decade.
Goldman defeated Democrat Trey Hunt with a commanding 64% to 36% margin, taking over the seat from Rep. Kay Granger in the 12th District, which extends westward from the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Granger, a veteran Republican lawmaker with strong ties to the pro-Israel community, is stepping down from her long-held position.
