== Runoff ==
A runoff was held on July 27 between [[Susan Wright (politician)|Susan Wright]] and [[Jake Ellzey]]. In the campaign prior to the runoff, Wright relied heavily on Trump's endorsement in order to further her candidacy, but was considered to have run a poor campaign.<ref name=Tribune>{{cite web|url=https://www.texastribune.org/2021/07/29/jake-ellzey-donald-trump-texas-6-congressional-seat/|title=How Republican Jake Ellzey's bipartisan appeal, positive campaign helped him upset Trump's pick for Congress|website=Texas Tribune|last1=Svitek|first1=Patrick|date=July 29, 2021|accessdate=July 31, 2021}}</ref> The [[Club for Growth]] spent heavily in the runoff, buying US $1.2 million in advertisements that supported Wright and attacked Ellzey.<ref name=Tribune/> The heavily negative tone taken by the Club for Growth ads towards Ellzey frustrated many Republican officials, some of whom backed Ellzey in protest.<ref name=Tribune/> Ellzey's campaign also engaged in strategies that were suspected as being designed to appeal to Democrats, with him declaring himself a "champion of [[public education]]" in text messages to Democratic-leaning potential voters, as well as noting that Wright was endorsed by former president [[Donald Trump]].<ref name=Tribune/> Defending Main Street, a [[Super PAC]] that was supporting Ellzey, targeted Democrats with advertisements, but Ellzey himself denied that he was specifically targeting Democrats, instead claiming that his statements were designed to be bipartisan.<ref name=Tribune/>
