Two Republicans are running for the Texas House District 64 seat for the March 3 primary election.
What’s happening?
After being in office since 2025, incumbent Andy Hopper is seeking his second term as the District 64 representative for the state. District 64 covers parts of Denton County, including the cities of Denton, Krum, Sanger and Robson Ranch, along with all of Wise County.
He will be running against Lisa McEntire for the Republican nomination for the seat. McEntire is currently a member of the Denton Central Appraisal District in Texas, representing Place 2.
The Democratic primary race for the position will be between candidates Christie Wood and Julie Evans.
The winner of the Republican primary will face the winner of the Democratic primary in November. The winner of that election will be sworn in for a two-year term in January 2027.
