Event Description:
The Pasadena Chamber is proud to host a Candidate Forum for the upcoming TX Congressional District 9 to provide our community with a unique opportunity to hear directly from those seeking to represent our region.
All candidates who filed for the Republican or Democratic primary in the newly drawn 9th Congressional District of Texas have been invited to participate in the candidate forum.
Candidates will publicly address important business and community issues during a moderated question and answer session. Following the moderated discussion, candidates will meet face-to-face with attendees.
All candidates are invited to participate in this event to engage with their constituents. Candidates also have the option to sponsor this event for added visibility during the event.
Confirmed participants as of January 15, 2026. **Names are listed to reflect Harris County ballot order per the Texas Secretary of State:
Republican Candidates:
The TX CD 9 Candidate Forum is still happening!
Following recent weather impacts, the Pasadena Chamber participated in Harris County Joint Information Center (JIC) briefings daily and coordinated with local partners to monitor conditions. After municipalities and school districts determined it was safe to resume normal operations, we confirmed the decision to host the forum as scheduled on Tuesday evening.
The attached map will show you easily how to locate the auditorium. It is Building 11 on the map. We have also included a picture of the building and we will have Pasadena Chamber signage to direct you there as well once you enter Texas Chiropractic off of Spencer Hwy.
