Republican David Lowe is running to unseat incumbent Rep. Stephanie Klick, R-Fort Worth, to represent House District 91.
Klick first won the seat in the 2012 election.
The Report was unable to interview Lowe before publication, but the veteran and conservative activist sent a statement about his decision to run.
“I am running because the concerns of ordinary citizens are not being addressed adequately. Texans overwhelmingly continue to vote right but keep getting left. The border is still open, elections are not secure, property taxes are still out of control and politicians continue to put the needs of corporations above the needs of citizens. It’s time for change,” he wrote.
“I am a retired Army combat veteran and non-commissioned officer, graduated from the police academy, former jailer, and former regional director for the Republican Party of Texas, and currently a stay-at-home father.”
District 91 covers Watauga, Richland Hills, North Richland Hills, Haltom City and parts of Fort Worth.
As of this writing, Klick is the sole other candidate running for this seat.
Lowe and Klick faced off in the Republican primary in 2022. Klick won with a little over 54% of the vote.
The filing period ended Dec. 11.
Representatives in the Texas House earn $7,200 a year.
