The person behind the name
Jon Bonck's public record is short and recent: a career in Houston residential mortgage lending, a deacon's role at Second Baptist Church and, in 2026, a first campaign that won the Republican nomination for an open congressional seat with President Trump's endorsement. [18][1][3]
The campaign biography gives neither a birthplace nor a birth year. The Houston Chronicle's editorial board put his age at 38 in May 2026, and Club for Growth PAC's candidate page lists Houston as his hometown and says he was raised by his grandparents and worked his way up from minimum-wage jobs. Senator Cruz's endorsement statement called him a longtime friend. His campaign describes him as a Christian, a husband and a father; his wife is named as Laura, and in the Community Impact questionnaire he wrote that he and his wife built their business and are raising their children in the district. [1][34][20][28][36]
Education and professional preparation
By his own account to a voter-guide questionnaire he earned a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry at Louisiana State University between 2005 and 2009; Fox News reported the same degree, citing his LinkedIn profile. The questionnaire lists him as vice president of a company called Bonck Group from 2016 and as sales manager of Bonck and Baker Mortgage Group from 2019. Legis1's runoff-day profile says he spent years in the chemical and petroleum industries before moving into mortgage sales; no other source reviewed says so, and no employment record from those years was reviewed. Degree records, license registrations and the Bonck Group's business filings were not part of this review. [19][41][37]
The mortgage career is documented by the lender itself. A March 4, 2026 release from Network Funding, L.P., the residential lender whose Houston branch he worked in, says that when he joined Austin Baker in 2019 the goal was to build what became Bonck & Baker Mortgage Group into a $100 million-a-year production team, a level reached in 2020 and averaged since; the team rebranded as Lasso Lending and, because he was running for Congress, his role changed from sales manager to loan advisor. The campaign biography says he and his wife have more than two decades of combined experience in real estate and that he entered the mortgage business “to simplify the home-buying process for everyday Houstonians.” [18][1]
At Second Baptist Church, by the campaign's account, he serves as a deacon, Bible study teacher and financial steward, and the questionnaire dates the deacon's role from 2016. The campaign says that through years of ministry and nonprofit leadership he has supported pro-life causes and “helped raise millions for Christian education”; the organizations and amounts are not identified, and this review did not measure them. [1][19]
He had never sought office before 2026. The Texan reported that he initially considered challenging Representative Dan Crenshaw in the 2nd District before filing for the 38th; the coverage of his committee's Federal Election Commission summary begins April 1, 2025, and the statement of candidacy on file for the 38th District, which the FEC lists as the current version, was signed October 7, 2025, the day after Representative Wesley Hunt entered the Senate race and the day Senator Cruz's endorsement was announced. President Trump endorsed him on February 16, 2026. In the March 3 primary he led ten Republicans with 28,762 votes, 46.84 percent, and on May 26 won the runoff over Shelly deZevallos with 31,855 votes, 64.75 percent. He faces Melissa McDonough, who won the Democratic primary outright with 27,073 votes, on November 3, 2026. [19][35][12][47][27][28][26][30][4][3][5][7]
A note on the superlatives. The campaign calls him a mortgage leader and says he has been “helping countless families achieve their dream of homeownership.” The lender's release establishes a team production figure, not an individual one, and no loan volume attributable to him personally appears in the material reviewed. [1][18]
Life & public service
From a Baton Rouge degree to a Houston lending desk and a first campaign for an open seat, the documented milestones show what the record contains and what it does not.
Bonck Group, and a deacon's role
The questionnaire lists him as vice president of Bonck Group from 2016 and as a deacon at Second Baptist Church & School from the same year; the company is not otherwise documented in the material reviewed. [19]
Bonck & Baker Mortgage Group
Joined Austin Baker in 2019 in what became Bonck & Baker Mortgage Group, a Houston residential mortgage team of Network Funding, L.P.; the team's goal of $100 million a year in production was reached in 2020, per the lender's release. [18]
Hunt runs for Senate; Cruz endorses
Representative Wesley Hunt entered the Republican Senate primary on October 6, 2025. The next day Senator Ted Cruz's endorsement was announced (“In my hometown of Houston, I’m proud to endorse my longtime friend, Jon Bonck, for Congress in Texas’s 38th District”) and Bonck signed the statement of candidacy for the 38th District that the FEC lists as the current version. [27][28][12][47]
Club for Growth PAC
Endorsed on January 8, 2026 by Club for Growth PAC, whose president cited his real estate background and lower taxes, school freedom and economic liberty. [21]
A poll with half undecided
The University of Houston's Hobby School survey of February 3–10 put him at 22 percent, deZevallos at 10 and Pratt at 8, with 50 percent of likely Republican primary voters unsure. [24]
A rebrand at the office
On March 4, 2026 Network Funding announced that Bonck & Baker Mortgage Group had become Lasso Lending and that his role had changed from sales manager to loan advisor while he ran for Congress. [18]
A mortgage allegation, and a lawyer's letter
Days before the May 26 runoff the deZevallos campaign texted voters that he had provided mortgages to illegal immigrants at Colony Ridge; on May 19 his attorney sent a retraction demand and he denied ever making such a loan. See the fuller record. [35][46]
Accomplishments, in the record
Election canvasses, Federal Election Commission filings, a lender's own release, the Legislature's bill history and the Supreme Court's docket establish the following. Bonck has never held public office, so there are no votes, bills or agency actions; the record is professional, civic and electoral, and it is described at the level those documents support.
A lending team, in the lender's own words
Network Funding, L.P., a private residential mortgage lender founded in 1998 and identified in the release as NMLS #2297, announced on March 4, 2026 that its Houston team, previously named Bonck & Baker Mortgage Group, had rebranded as Lasso Lending. The release says that “When Jon Bonck joined Austin Baker in 2019, the goal was to turn what became Bonck & Baker Mortgage Group into a $100M a year production team,” that the goal was achieved in 2020 and averaged since, that several of the team's loan officers became top producers nationally for the company, and that Bonck's role had changed “from Sales Manager to Loan Advisor, as he is currently running for U.S. Congress in Texas District 38.” [18]
The production figure is the team's, not his; the release does not state his personal loan volume, license number or compensation. Press descriptions vary with the source: Houston Public Media calls him a mortgage loan officer, the Chronicle a mortgage banker and the manager of a mortgage brokerage firm, Club for Growth a mortgage and real estate broker. His own questionnaire entry reads sales manager of Bonck and Baker Mortgage Group, 2019 to 2026, and vice president of Bonck Group from 2016. No licensing record was examined for this review. [18][33][40][34][20][19]
Ten candidates and a plurality
The Secretary of State's results for the March 3, 2026 Republican primary in the 38th District, with all 254 counties reporting, give Bonck 28,762 votes, 46.84 percent; Shelly deZevallos 11,575, 18.85 percent; Michael Pratt 6,561; Larry Rubin 4,316; Barrett McNabb 3,929; Jennifer Sundt 1,492; Carmen Maria Montiel 1,455; Jeff Yuna 1,422; Craig Goralski 967; and Avery Ayers 930, of 61,409 votes. The Harris County Clerk's official cumulative report, run March 10, 2026, records the same figures and shows him winning 50.79 percent of the early vote and 39.68 percent of the election-day vote. Election-night and later press reports put his share at about 47 percent, 47.7 percent or 47.73 percent; the canvass figure is used here. [4][9][33][26][36]
A landslide in May
In the May 26, 2026 runoff he received 31,855 votes, 64.75 percent, to deZevallos's 17,340, 35.25 percent, of 49,195; the Secretary of State's results were last updated June 12, 2026, and the County Clerk's final official cumulative, run June 2, 2026, agrees. He led among mail ballots, early voters and election-day voters alike, and declared victory a half hour after the polls closed: “Tonight, the people of TX-38 made it clear that they are ready for a conservative outsider who will fight for our families, our faith, and our future.” In the Democratic primary Melissa McDonough won outright with 27,073 of 52,418 votes, 51.65 percent, over Marvalette Hunter and Theresa Courts. [3][8][38][5]
What the FEC filings show
The Federal Election Commission's summary for Jon Bonck for Congress, covering April 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, records total receipts of $1,644,127.13: $1,014,280.41 from individuals ($988,440.08 itemized), $173,125.20 from other committees, $21,231.40 from the candidate, $1,359.00 in transfers and $430,000.00 in loans, of which $330,000.00 came from the candidate and $100,000.00 from another source. Disbursements were $1,554,994.44, including $100,000.00 in loan repayments; cash on hand was $89,132.69 and the committee owed $330,000.00. The FEC lists the seat as an open one and a sponsored leadership PAC, Join the Battle PAC; its candidate master records the principal committee as Jon Bonck for Congress, C00904151. [12][14]
The Democratic nominee's committee reported $66,928.90 in receipts for January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, $28,042.46 of it from the candidate, with $43,939.42 on hand and $113,239.86 in debts. Houston Public Media, reading the pre-runoff reports, put Bonck's contributions between early April and early May at $1.08 million, including the $330,000 in loans, against $1.22 million spent; read with the station's February report of just over $1 million raised before the primary, that period figure cannot be reconciled with the FEC's cycle summary of $1,644,127.13 in total receipts through June 30, and the itemized reports were not examined here to resolve it. DeZevallos reported more than $634,000 for October through early May, including $375,000 in loans from herself. [13][39][29][12]
Endorsements and money from outside the district
Club for Growth PAC endorsed him on January 8, 2026; its president, David McIntosh, said “Jon Bonck is a fiscal conservative who will fight every day for lower taxes, school freedom, and economic liberty for Texans on Capitol Hill.” After the runoff the group reported that Club for Growth Action and its affiliated super PACs had invested over $300,000 in the race to support him and publicize President Trump's endorsement, and that its members had contributed $42,046 directly to the campaign. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America Candidate Fund endorsed him on May 15, 2026. The campaign's own list runs from Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Whip Tom Emmer to state and precinct officials, the National Border Patrol Council, Texas Right to Life and Texans for Vaccine Choice; that list is the campaign's. [21][22][23][2]
Endorsements establish political support; they are not evaluations of a record, and this candidate has no legislative record to evaluate. The one independent measurement of opinion in the primary, the Hobby School's February survey of 800 likely Republican primary voters, found half of them undecided. The Almanac of American Politics' advance profile of the nominee, of which only the public introduction was reviewed, describes a mortgage broker and political newcomer with early support from Senator Cruz, a fundraising advantage and primary endorsements from leading House conservatives including Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan. [24][45]
The seat he is running for
The 38th District was created in the 2021 redistricting and first filled in 2022, when Wesley Hunt received 163,597 votes, 62.95 percent, in the Harris County Clerk's official count; in 2024 he received 215,030 votes, 62.73 percent, to McDonough's 127,640. House Bill 4 of the 89th Legislature's second called session, the mid-decade congressional map, was signed August 29, 2025 and took effect December 4, 2025; a federal district court ruled against it on November 18, 2025, and on April 27, 2026 the Supreme Court, in Abbott v. League of United Latin American Citizens, No. 25-845, reversed that judgment summarily over the dissents of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson, with judgment issued May 29. Inside Elections' analysis, as reported by Ballotpedia, found that President Trump carried both the old and the new 38th by 21 points in 2024. [33][11][10][15][16][17][25]
Hunt gave up the seat to run for the Senate, finishing third in the March 3 primary with 293,250 votes, 13.53 percent, behind Senator John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton. On September 14, 2026 President Trump nominated him as ambassador to Saudi Arabia, subject to Senate confirmation. [6][42]
Family & community
His campaign biography identifies his wife as Laura and describes him as a husband and father, and in the Community Impact questionnaire he wrote: “My wife and I built our business and are raising our children here.” The number and ages of the children are not stated in the material reviewed and are not asserted here. [1][36]
Community roles as the documents state them: deacon, Bible study teacher and financial steward at Second Baptist Church, per the campaign, with the deacon's role dated from 2016 in his questionnaire entry, which also lists affiliations with Texas Values, Gun Owners of America, Life House Houston, Campus Crusades, the National Christian Foundation, The Children's Fund, First Liberty Institute, the Houston Pregnancy Help Center and the Houston Mortgage Bankers Association. The campaign says he has supported pro-life causes and helped raise money for Christian education; the sources reviewed do not supply a verified record of charitable board service, and none is asserted. [1][19]
On religion the candidate is explicit. The campaign home page calls him “A Christian conservative, husband, and father committed to faith, family, and securing a future worth fighting for,” and in his questionnaire he wrote, “I am a Christian, and my faith in Jesus guides how I live, work, and serve others.” This profile records those statements and makes no further claim. [1][19]
Mission & priorities
“My mission is simple: to honor God, defend our values, and fight for a future where faith, family, and freedom still have a place in this country.” {1}
The following summarizes the agenda on Bonck's campaign website, his answers to two questionnaires and his statements to reporters. These are proposed priorities from a candidate who has never cast a legislative vote, not completed accomplishments. [1]
01Secure the border
“Finish the wall. End the invasion. Put Texas first.” In the Community Impact questionnaire he named affordability, immigration and public safety as the district's biggest challenges and wrote that “The murder of Jocelyn Nungaray showed these failures have real consequences.” The campaign lists the National Border Patrol Council among its endorsers. [1][36][2]
02Protect life
“Life begins at conception. No compromise.” Asked by iVoterGuide under what circumstances an elective abortion should be allowed, he answered that there should be no exceptions, and he marked strong agreement with enforcing the Comstock Act's ban on interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America's candidate fund endorsed him on May 15, 2026, calling him 100 percent pro-life. [1][19][23]
03Housing and red tape
The campaign biography says his experience in real estate “has shown him firsthand how outdated policies and red tape can frustrate families and delay their path to stability and wealth-building through homeownership,” and that in Washington he “will work to reform these outdated policies and eliminate red tape to help Americans thrive and achieve the American dream.” The Chronicle reported on primary night that he had campaigned on cutting red tape to boost home ownership. No bill, agency rule or cost estimate is named. [1][32]
04Cut the spending
“No more blank checks for foreign wars. Put America first.” To iVoterGuide he listed “Zero-based budgeting so agencies must justify every dollar they spend, every year,” ending duplicative federal programs, regular audits with consequences for agencies that misuse funds, and limits on federal hiring; Club for Growth's page adds that he supports term limits and would seek to reform Social Security. Club for Growth PAC's endorsement cited lower taxes, school freedom and economic liberty. [1][19][20][21]
05Defend our kids, and school choice
“No woke curriculum. No gender ideology. Parents first.” He told iVoterGuide he strongly agrees with eliminating the U.S. Department of Education, and Club for Growth describes him as a big supporter of school choice; the campaign lists the Texas Home School Coalition and Moms for America Action among its endorsers. [1][19][20][2]
06Medical freedom, and a questionnaire answer on Medicare and Medicaid
The campaign's plank reads “No mandates. No coercion. No mRNA vaccines,” and the campaign lists Texans for Vaccine Choice among its endorsers. Offered four models of health-care policy by iVoterGuide, he chose the fourth: “Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.” That answer is the candidate's own, on a questionnaire; no campaign page reviewed repeats it, and the campaign's own health plank speaks only of mandates, coercion and vaccines. [1][2][19][20]
07The Second Amendment and religious liberty
“God-given rights don’t need D.C.’s permission.” and “Faith belongs in public life—not under attack.” To iVoterGuide he wrote that the Second Amendment “exists to ensure citizens have the ability to defend themselves not only from criminals, but from a government that could overreach its power,” and that the phrase separation of church and state “does not appear anywhere in the U.S. Constitution.” [1][19]
08Sharia law and denaturalization
In an interview with The Texan during the runoff he praised Governor Abbott's designation of the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations and said: “I would love to see a national federal ban of sharia law, and if somebody is a naturalized citizen and they’re here legally and impose sharia law, then we should denaturalize and deport those people.” To iVoterGuide he wrote that Americans should be concerned about efforts to create parallel legal or cultural systems inside the country, naming the East Plano Islamic Center. No federal statute or mechanism for the denaturalization he described is identified in the material reviewed. [35][19]
How to assess a proposal. A campaign plan states an intention. Enactment, implementation costs, replacement revenue, and measured results are separate questions. These priorities should be read alongside the legislative and voting history above.
The fuller record
A useful profile includes the questions a first-time federal candidate has been asked, the limits of a claim, and responses to material criticism.
The mortgage allegation, and the cease-and-desist letter
Days before the May 26 runoff the deZevallos campaign sent voters text messages saying Bonck had “been caught providing mortgages to illegal immigrants at Colony Ridge,” linking to a video published by Wayne Dolcefino, whom The Texan identifies as a reporter. The paper reported that the video alleged his firm advertised loans to borrowers who use an individual taxpayer identification number rather than a Social Security number, and that Dolcefino also reported that Network Funding, the nationwide company with which the firm was affiliated, had branches that allegedly made loans for purchases in the Colony Ridge development in Liberty County. On May 19, 2026 his attorney, Eric Wang of Lex Politica, sent the deZevallos campaign a cease-and-desist and retraction demand under the Texas Defamation Mitigation Act with a deadline of May 20. The letter states that the only support for the claim was the Dolcefino video; that ITIN loans “were mentioned (along with more than a dozen other types of home loans) in one social media post by Lasso Lending and another social media post by Mr. Bonck”; that “It is simply false to equate ITINs with illegal immigration status,” because, it says, citing the Internal Revenue Service, such numbers are issued to people lawfully in the United States; and that neither Bonck nor Bonck & Baker Mortgage Group/Lasso Lending “has ever even made an ITIN loan to anyone.” His consultant told The Texan the same, and Bonck said: “I’ve never done a loan for an illegal, I’ve never done a loan in Colony Ridge.” DeZevallos answered that “Rather than face the voters and answer tough questions, he runs from the media and hires lawyers to suppress those who expose the facts he's trying to hide.” Legis1's runoff-day account records the allegation, the denial and the retraction demand. The affiliation with Network Funding is documented in the lender's own release; the video, the two social-media posts, the IRS page the letter cites and any loan file or regulatory record were not reviewed here, neither outlet reported a loan he originated, and whether a retraction followed is not on record in the material reviewed. [35][46][37][18]
Interviews not given
Houston Public Media wrote in February that it had reached out to him multiple times and that he did not comment before publication. The Houston Chronicle's editorial board recorded in February and again in May that he did not meet with it; in endorsing deZevallos for the runoff it wrote, “He appears to be actively ducking interviews with mainstream media outlets.” He did answer Community Impact's written questionnaire before the primary, answers the outlet printed again for the runoff, and The Texan's questions, telling that paper: “I want to talk to the voters, be with the voters, not be distracted by political lies or negative ads.” The pattern is documented; the reasons are not on record beyond that statement. [29][31][34][44][36][35]
Which district, and when
The Texan reported that he initially considered challenging Representative Dan Crenshaw in the 2nd District before filing for the open 38th. The coverage of his committee's FEC summary begins April 1, 2025, six months before Hunt's Senate announcement of October 6, 2025; the statement of candidacy on file for the 38th District, which the FEC lists as the current version, was signed October 7, 2025, the day Senator Cruz's endorsement was announced. DeZevallos, a former vice chair of the Harris County Republican Party, set her party history against his: “We have no idea who my opponent is. He’s got no experience in the Republican Party; he’s never donated to a Republican candidate.” iVoterGuide's profile lists, under selected contributions, one given by the candidate, to Representative Chip Roy in 2025; the FEC's contributor records were not searched for this review. [35][12][47][27][28][19]
Money, loans and the establishment label
He was the leading fundraiser in the field from the first reports and financed part of the effort himself: the FEC's summary shows $330,000.00 in loans from the candidate and $100,000.00 from another source, $100,000.00 in loan repayments, and $330,000.00 still owed by the committee at June 30, 2026. The Chronicle's editorial board called him “the Donald Trump- and Ted Cruz-endorsed, Washington establishment favorite with a hefty campaign war chest,” and put his fundraising at $1.4 million to deZevallos's more than $930,000 by mid-May; Club for Growth's affiliated super PACs added over $300,000. DeZevallos, for her part, had lent her own campaign $375,000 by early May, and for the runoff she had the endorsements of five of the eliminated primary candidates, Barrett McNabb, Craig Goralski, Larry Rubin, Jennifer Sundt and Jeff Yuna, of Representatives Troy Nehls, Jake Ellzey and Randy Weber, and of the Chronicle's editorial board; Michael Pratt, the third-place finisher, endorsed Bonck. Endorsements and expenditures establish who supported whom; they are not evaluations of the record. [31][29][12][34][22][39][35]
The general election, and the Democratic nominee
The district has returned Republican majorities above 62 percent in both of its elections, and the three race raters tracked by Ballotpedia rated it Solid or Safe Republican as of May 2026. Melissa McDonough, the 2024 nominee, received 127,640 votes, 37.24 percent, against Hunt that year; her campaign site describes her as a Harris County resident of nearly three decades, a mother, businesswoman and community organizer, and the Chronicle calls her a real estate brokerage manager. Her platform, in the site's own headings, includes universal health care, renewable energy, gun-safety measures and more effective border management. As of June 30, 2026 her committee had raised $66,928.90 to his $1,644,127.13. Alex McMenemy of the Green Party and, per The Texan, independent William Taggart are also on the November ballot; Ballotpedia likewise reports two candidates besides McDonough. [11][10][26][48][43][32][40][13][12][39][35]
The seat's occupant, nominated abroad
Hunt, who did not endorse in the race to succeed him, was nominated by President Trump on September 14, 2026 to be ambassador to Saudi Arabia; the nomination requires Senate confirmation, and the Tribune noted that the Senate had only two weeks in session before Election Day. The nomination concerns the seat's current occupant; Bonck is the nominee in the November 3 general election for the full term that follows, and no vacancy existed at the date of this review. [40][42][7]
Questions & answers
Who is Jon Bonck?
Jon Bonck's public record is short and recent: a career in Houston residential mortgage lending, a deacon's role at Second Baptist Church and, in 2026, a first campaign that won the Republican nomination for an open congressional seat with President Trump's endorsement. [18][1][3] The campaign biography gives neither a birthplace nor a birth year. The Houston Chronicle's editorial board put his age at 38 in May 2026, and Club for Growth PAC's candidate page lists Houston as his hometown and says he was raised by his grandparents and worked his way up from minimum-wage jobs. Senator Cruz's endorsement statement called him a longtime friend. His campaign describes him as a Christian, a husband and a father; his wife is named as Laura, and in the Community Impact questionnaire he wrote that he and his wife built their business and are raising their children in the district. [1][34][20][28][36]
What office is Jon Bonck running for in 2026?
Who is Jon Bonck running against?
He had never sought office before 2026. The Texan reported that he initially considered challenging Representative Dan Crenshaw in the 2nd District before filing for the 38th; the coverage of his committee's Federal Election Commission summary begins April 1, 2025, and the statement of candidacy on file for the 38th District, which the FEC lists as the current version, was signed October 7, 2025, the day after Representative Wesley Hunt entered the Senate race and the day Senator Cruz's endorsement was announced. President Trump endorsed him on February 16, 2026. In the March 3 primary he led ten Republicans with 28,762 votes, 46.84 percent, and on May 26 won the runoff over Shelly deZevallos with 31,855 votes, 64.75 percent. He faces Melissa McDonough, who won the Democratic primary outright with 27,073 votes, on November 3, 2026. [19][35][12][47][27][28][26][30][4][3][5][7]
What are Jon Bonck's stated priorities?
The following summarizes the agenda on Bonck's campaign website, his answers to two questionnaires and his statements to reporters. These are proposed priorities from a candidate who has never cast a legislative vote, not completed accomplishments. [1] The campaign lists: Secure the border; Protect life; Housing and red tape; Cut the spending; Defend our kids, and school choice; Medical freedom, and a questionnaire answer on Medicare and Medicaid; The Second Amendment and religious liberty; Sharia law and denaturalization.
What does the public record show?
Election canvasses, Federal Election Commission filings, a lender's own release, the Legislature's bill history and the Supreme Court's docket establish the following. Bonck has never held public office, so there are no votes, bills or agency actions; the record is professional, civic and electoral, and it is described at the level those documents support. Network Funding, L.P., a private residential mortgage lender founded in 1998 and identified in the release as NMLS #2297, announced on March 4, 2026 that its Houston team, previously named Bonck & Baker Mortgage Group, had rebranded as Lasso Lending. The release says that “When Jon Bonck joined Austin Baker in 2019, the goal was to turn what became Bonck & Baker Mortgage Group into a $100M a year production team,” that the goal was achieved in 2020 and averaged since, that several of the team's loan officers became top producers nationally for the company, and that Bonck's role had changed “from Sales Manager to Loan Advisor, as he is currently running for U.S. Congress in Texas District 38.” [18]
How was this profile researched?
Reviewed September 17, 2026. Jon Bonck has never held public office, so this profile contains no votes, bills or agency actions; it is a documented overview of his professional, civic and electoral record and his stated priorities. His mortgage career was read from his employer's own release, his questionnaire entries and press accounts, not from licensing records; his education from his questionnaire entry and a press report citing his LinkedIn profile; his church and community roles from the campaign and the questionnaire. The 2026 results were read through the Secretary of State's results site and the Harris County Clerk's official cumulative reports, which agree. The runoff's retraction-demand letter was read as The Texan published it; the video and the social-media posts it cites were not. Degree records, mortgage-license registrations, business filings for the Bonck Group, his candidate financial disclosure filed with the Clerk of the House and the FEC's itemized contributor records were not part of this review. The Ballotpedia entry and the independent race ratings on the Ledger's board could not be retrieved by the tools used here; Ballotpedia's news service is cited instead. Numerical claims retain their original meaning and attribution. Filings and campaign pages may change after this review.
Sources & methodology
Government records anchor the profile: the Texas Secretary of State's results, the Harris County Clerk's official cumulative reports, the Federal Election Commission's filings, the Legislature's bill history and the Supreme Court's docket.

Scope & method. Reviewed September 17, 2026. Jon Bonck has never held public office, so this profile contains no votes, bills or agency actions; it is a documented overview of his professional, civic and electoral record and his stated priorities. His mortgage career was read from his employer's own release, his questionnaire entries and press accounts, not from licensing records; his education from his questionnaire entry and a press report citing his LinkedIn profile; his church and community roles from the campaign and the questionnaire. The 2026 results were read through the Secretary of State's results site and the Harris County Clerk's official cumulative reports, which agree. The runoff's retraction-demand letter was read as The Texan published it; the video and the social-media posts it cites were not. Degree records, mortgage-license registrations, business filings for the Bonck Group, his candidate financial disclosure filed with the Clerk of the House and the FEC's itemized contributor records were not part of this review. The Ballotpedia entry and the independent race ratings on the Ledger's board could not be retrieved by the tools used here; Ballotpedia's news service is cited instead. Numerical claims retain their original meaning and attribution. Filings and campaign pages may change after this review.
Images. Conservative Ledger masthead supplied by the site creator. No official government portrait exists for a candidate who holds no office, and no photograph of the candidate was found on Wikimedia Commons; the photographs on the campaign site are family pictures that include minor children, or a composite with the President, and were not used. The candidate portrait is therefore the campaign's own headshot as published on Club for Growth PAC's candidate page, reproduced at reduced size pending the site owner's decision on its use, and credited beneath the image. Inclusion does not imply campaign authorization or endorsement of this publication.

Voting in Texas: official dates, deadlines and rules
The general election is Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The dates and rules below were read from the Texas Secretary of State; the authority's own page, linked beside each one, is the final word.
Dates and deadlines
- Voter registration deadlineMonday, October 5, 2026. An application counts if it is postmarked by that date or received in the county voter registrar's office by that date. A voter registration application filled out online must still be printed and sent to the county voter registrar's office. Read from: votetexas.gov/faq/registration.html
- Ballots sent to military and overseas (FPCA) votersSaturday, September 19, 2026 — deadline for county election officials to mail or email ballots to military and overseas voters who applied with a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA); for an FPCA received after that date, the ballot goes out no later than the seventh calendar day after it is received. This date applies to FPCA voters only. Read from: sos.texas.gov/elections/laws/advisory2026-03.shtml
- Early voting in person beginsMonday, October 19, 2026 — first day of early voting by personal appearance. Read from: votetexas.gov/faq/early-voting.html
- Early voting in person endsFriday, October 30, 2026 — last day of early voting by personal appearance. Read from: votetexas.gov/faq/early-voting.html
- Deadline to apply for a ballot by mail (received, not postmarked)Friday, October 23, 2026. The Application for Ballot by Mail (ABBM) must be received — not just postmarked — by the early voting clerk in the county where you are registered, before the close of regular business or 12 noon, whichever is later. Read from: votetexas.gov/voting-by-mail/application-for-ballot-by-mail.html
- Deadline to return a ballot by mail (received by)The early voting clerk must receive the ballot by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2026, if the carrier envelope is not postmarked; or by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 4, 2026 (the next business day), if the carrier envelope is postmarked by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day at the location of the election. Different deadlines apply to overseas and military voters. Read from: sos.texas.gov/elections/voter/important-election-dates.shtml
- Polling place hours on Election Day7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, November 3, 2026, at all polling places statewide. Read from: votetexas.gov/voting/where.html
Rules to know
- What to bringVoters who have one of seven acceptable forms of photo ID must present it when voting in person: a Texas driver license, Texas Election Identification Certificate, Texas personal identification card or Texas handgun license issued by the Department of Public Safety (DPS); a U.S. military ID card with photo; a U.S. citizenship certificate with photo; or a U.S. passport. For voters aged 18–69 the ID may be expired no more than four years; for voters 70 or older, for any length of time. A voter who does not have one of these and cannot reasonably obtain one may show a supporting form of ID — such as a voter registration certificate, current utility bill, bank statement, government check or paycheck — and sign a Reasonable Impediment Declaration. A voter who has an acceptable ID but does not bring it may vote provisionally and has six days to show it to the county voter registrar. Read from: votetexas.gov/voting/need-id.html
- Who may vote by mail and how to applyVoting by mail in Texas is limited to voters who are 65 or older on Election Day; sick or disabled; expecting to give birth within three weeks before or after Election Day; absent from their county of registration during the early voting period and on Election Day; civilly committed under Chapter 841 of the Texas Health and Safety Code; or confined in jail but otherwise eligible. To ask for a ballot, send an Application for Ballot by Mail (ABBM) to the early voting clerk in the county where you are registered — in person, by mail, by common or contract carrier, or by fax or email (if faxed or emailed, the application must also be mailed so that the clerk receives it no later than the fourth business day after the clerk received the fax or email). VoteTexas.gov says a voter who applies because of an expected absence may apply in person before the period of early voting in person begins (Monday, October 19, 2026). The ABBM must include your Texas driver license, Texas personal ID or Election Identification Certificate number or, if you have none of these, the last four digits of your Social Security number. Read from: votetexas.gov/voting-by-mail/eligibility-requirements.html
- Early voting in personAny registered voter may vote early in person; no special qualification is required. From October 19 through October 30, 2026, you may vote at any early voting location in your county of registration. Hours vary by location. Early voting locations appear in the state's My Voter Portal two days before the first day of early voting, and the early voting clerk in your county can also provide them. Read from: votetexas.gov/faq/early-voting.html
- Track your ballot by mailAfter you send your ballot by mail to your county's early voting clerk, you can check its status in the Ballot by Mail Tracker on the Texas Secretary of State's My Voter Portal. To log in, enter your first and last name, your date of birth, the last four digits of your Social Security number, and your Texas driver license or DPS personal ID number. Read from: votetexas.gov/voting-by-mail/track-my-ballot.html
- Correcting a defect in a mail ballot application or carrier envelopeIf your Application for Ballot by Mail or your carrier envelope was rejected because the ID number was missing or did not match your voter registration record, you may correct the defect online through the Ballot by Mail Tracker. For other carrier-envelope defects — no signature, a signature mismatch, a missing Statement of Residence or incomplete witness information — complete the Corrective Action Form enclosed with the notice of defect and mail it back to the early voting clerk, or complete it in person at the clerk's office. You have until the 6th day after Election Day to correct the defect so that the ballot is counted. You may instead cancel the ballot by mail at an early voting or Election Day polling place and vote in person; without the mail ballot to surrender, the only option is a provisional ballot.
