Overview
- Green formally launched a 2026 bid in the remapped 18th District, leaving the GOP-leaning new 9th that he has represented since 2005.
- His move positions him to face the winner of a special-election runoff between Christian Menefee and Amanda Edwards to fill the current vacancy.
- The filing window for the March 2026 primary opened Saturday, forcing decisions before the governor sets a runoff date.
- Under the summer map, about 75% of registered voters from Green’s old 9th were shifted into the 18th, which would have backed Kamala Harris by 54 points in 2024.
- Green spotlighted his anti-Trump record and pledged to file additional impeachment articles if reelected, as courts review legal challenges to the new map.
