2020 U.S. House election in Texas' 22nd district
Nehls announced in early December 2019 his run for United States House of Representatives to replace retiring Republican Pete Olson.[2] A possible RINO who opposes Donald Trump[3] in terms of immigration, he ran against conservative activist Kathaleen Wall in the Republican primary,[4] who has advocated for punishing China over the coronavirus.[5] However, he opposes defunding the police[6] and promotes law enforcement.
Facing Democrat Sri Kulkarni, who has previously been arrested for cocaine,[7] Nehls won the general election to succeed Olson in the increasingly liberal district.[8]
