Congressman Lamar Smith earned more than 75 percent of the vote in the Republican primary across the ten counties making up the 21st Congressional District. The decisive win gives powerful momentum on the trail to the general election in November.

"A win by any margin is a victory to be celebrated, and a win of this magnitude is all the more gratifying to have earned," Smith said. "I was very happy with the results and appreciate the strong support from across the 21st District. My thanks to all who back me as their voice in Congress."
