Last updated

After departing office as Mayor of San Marcos in 2010, Narvaiz chose to run for United States Congress in the newly created 35th Congressional District. [13] Texas's 35th congressional district was one of several controversial Texas districts drawn after the United States census in 2010. Because of its abnormal shape, caused by gerrymandering, the district was named as one of the "10 Most Contorted Congressional Districts." [14]

In the Republican primary election, held on May 29, 2012, Narvaiz faced off against Rob Roark and John Yoggerst. Narvaiz won the primary election and avoided a runoff by obtaining 51.78% of the votes cast. [15]

Narvaiz faced Democratic incumbent Lloyd Doggett in the general election on November 6, 2012. Narvaiz received 32.02% of total votes cast and lost the race to Doggett, who received 63.94% of the vote. [16]

In December 2013, Narvaiz announced her intention to challenge Doggett a second time for Texas' 35th Congressional District seat. [17]
