With final results on September 18, Flores scored an unexpected upset over Gallego in a year in which Texas Democrats confidently expected to ride a "blue wave" to major victories on November 6, fueled largely by popular U.S. Senate candidate, [[Beto O'Rourke]]. Flores polled 23,576 votes (53 percent); Gallego, 20,911 (47 percent). Flores' victory was assured with his 81 percent margin in Medina County and his 64 percent in Uvalde County, both west of San Antonio. Gallego carried the Bexar County precincts with nearly 54 percent, but the margin was insufficient for him to overcome Flores district-wide.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://enrpages.sos.state.tx.us/public/sep18_332_state.htm?x=0&y=0&id=107|title=2018 Special Runoff Election Returns|publisher=Texas Secretary of State|accesdate=September 18, 2018}}</ref>Flores' term will expire in January 2021; like President Trump, he faces reelection in 2020.
