Republican

Democratic incumbent Solomon Ortiz was challenged by Republican nominee attorney Blake Farenthold and Libertarian nominee Ed Mishou.

The Republican primary ended in a run off which Farenthold won with 51.3% against conservative activist James Duerr.[33][34] Mishou, of Cameron County, was the 2010 Libertarian Party nominee and came in a close second to Farenthold in a 2010 27th District Tea Party poll.[35]

Ortiz was re-elected in 2008 with 58% of the vote, although Barack Obama carried the district with just 53% of the vote. The district is nearly 70% Hispanic.
