曾效力於MLB紐約洋基隊的泰謝拉代表共和黨參加選舉，成功擊敗民主黨候選人胡克（Kristin Hook）。根據美聯社最新數據，泰謝拉拿下54.6％的選票，胡克得票率為45.4%。
泰謝拉在社群媒體X上說：「只要攜手並進，我們就能為家庭、鄰居及德州第21選區每個社區創造更美好未來⋯我對即將為民服務感到興奮。」
Thank you to my family, friends, campaign staff, and the countless supporters who stood with us during this campaign. We could not have won this race without every person who knocked on doors, worked the polls, hosted events, and pitched in to help the cause. I am truly grateful to all of you. And of course, I want to thank all of the voters across the district who placed their trust in me. Nobody will work harder to continue earning that trust. Tonight’s victory belongs to the people of Texas’s 21st District. I’m not going to Washington for myself, but rather to be a strong, responsive voice for every family in this district. Together, we can build a better future for our families, our neighbors, and every community across Texas 21. I’m excited to get to work. I will be praying for all of you and for the future of this great nation. God bless Texas, and God bless America.

承諾與川普合作
泰謝拉職涯始於德州遊騎兵隊，曾入選全明星賽3次，退休後2021年和家人搬回德州。泰謝拉宣布將競選國會議員時承諾與美國總統川普合作以確保邊境安全，以及停止「灌輸激進覺醒思想」。
德州第21選區眾議員席位目前由共和黨的羅伊（Chip Roy）掌控，羅伊已決定不尋求連任。泰謝拉3月以逾61%得票率，贏得共和黨國會初選。
德州第21選區是保守勢力強大地區，德州議會共和黨人在泰謝拉宣布角逐眾議員幾天前通過選區重劃，重劃後選區對共和黨有利。
