Romanian candidates had mixed results in the November 3, 2026, U.S. elections. Mihaela Pleșa, a Democrat, secured her seat in the Texas House of Representatives, while Ionel Roiban, a Republican, lost in Florida. Ciprian Ivanof's results in Washington D.C. are still pending. Pleșa's victory marks her second term, having made history as the first Romanian woman elected to the Texas legislature. Roiban, previously involved in Romanian politics, faced a significant defeat against Democrat Rob Long. He criticized the direction of his former party, PMP, before moving to the U.S. and engaging in local politics.
