The 1978 Texas gubernatorial election was held on November 7, 1978, to elect the Governor of Texas. In a surprising upset, Republican Bill Clements was narrowly elected over Democrat State Attorney General John Luke Hill, winning 50% of the vote to Hill's 49%. In doing so, Clements became the first Republican to be elected governor since Reconstruction. Besides Clements' upset victory in the gubernatorial election, United States Senator John Tower was re-elected to a third full six-year term in the Texas U.S. Senate race. But the majority of the down-ballot statewide offices remained with the Democratic Party.
