101st Republican in the Texas House
Despite a crowded field of 10 candidates, John Kuempel won a special election on Tuesday to fill his late father’s seat. Kuempel recieved 65% of the vote.
His father Edward Kuempel had held the seat from 1982 until his death last month.
Kuempel ran on a platform of lowering taxes, requiring a valid Texas Photo ID , securing our borders, limited government, and economic growth.
With Rep. Allan Ritter and Rep. Aaron Pena switching to the Republican Party earlier in the day, Kuempel will become the the 101st Republican in the Texas House.
