2003 Texas's 19th congressional district special election
The 2003 United States House of Representatives special election in Texas's 19th congressional district was held on June 3, 2003 to select the successor to Larry Combest (R) who resigned to spend more time with his family. In accordance with Texas law, the special election was officially nonpartisan. This election took place during the highly controversial 2003 Texas Redistricting, during which the placement of the cities of Lubbock and Midland within the district were heavily debated. Though Randy Neugebauer of Lubbock won the special election, the new maps used for the 2004 elections put Midland in a separate district, allowing Mike Conaway to run in and win the open seat.
