Texas Rep. Lizzie Fletcher could be in for a tough reelection fight in 2020, according to a new Republican poll released Thursday. The survey gave GOP challenger Wesley Hunt, a former Army captain, a 2-point lead over the freshman Democrat in the Houston-area 7th District.

The poll was paid for by the Congressional Leadership Fund, a super PAC aligned with House GOP leadership and a major spender in House races. Forty-five percent of those surveyed backed Hunt, while 43 percent backed Fletcher. The poll had a margin of error of 5.3 points, according to a polling memo shared first with CQ Roll Call.

Democrats are going on offense in Texas next year, targeting six GOP-held House seats, buoyed by recent retirement announcements of several Republican congressmen there. But the CLF poll underscores that the two House Democrats who unseated Republican incumbents in 2018 — Fletcher and Rep. Colin Allred — also face competitive races.

Hunt is not the only Republican bidding to take on Fletcher in the 7th District. Former Bellaire Mayor Cindy Siegel is also running, but several House Republican leaders have signaled that Hunt is their preferred candidate.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has endorsed Hunt, and his leadership PAC made the maximum contribution to the Army veteran in the most recent fundraising quarter. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise and a handful of other GOP lawmakers have also donated to Hunt through their PACs. Siegel received a donation from VIEW PAC, which backs GOP women running for office. The CLF poll did not test Siegel against Fletcher.
