Texas's 32nd congressional district

Texas's 32nd congressional district of the United States House of Representatives serves a suburban area of northwestern Dallas, Texas. The current representative is Pete Sessions. The district was created after the 2000 census when Texas went from 30 seats to 32 seats.

In the 2004 election, Martin Frost, the Democratic representative from Texas's 24th congressional district, who had been redistricted out of his district in Fort Worth, Arlington, and parts of Dallas, decided to run against Sessions rather than challenge Kenny Marchant or Joe Barton. Frost lost by a 10-point margin when Sessions used President George W. Bush's coattails to win in this Republican-leaning district.

In 2006, Dallas lawyer Will Pryor unsuccessfully challenged Sessions, but without Frost's strong ties and name recognition in the area, he faced an even more uphill challenge, and lost by a larger margin, despite the election's powerful Democratic victories in other races. Sessions won with 56.4% of the vote.
