Why HD 91 is Ground Zero in the Fight for Texas
James Scott Trimm
The Paxton acquittal has created a great deal of energy in the grass roots against the Phelan Establishment RINOS, an energy which the media has characterized as a GoP civil war. House District 91 is ground zero in this war on the Uniparty.
Why is House District 91 ground zero? Because the HD 91 State Representative is Stephanie Klick, who was recently identified as one of Dade Phelan’s Dirty Dozen in the mini-documentary The Texas Heist. Not only did Klick vote with 61 Democrats to impeach Ken Paxton, she was also one of only eleven Republicans to vote for taxpayer funding of Child Gender Modification Support and Referral programs. And her Texans for Fiscal Responsibility rating has sunk to 49! Klick is a committee chair and has used that position to kill several GoP priority bills in recent years.
Moreover, Klick's top two donors are Dade Phelan and the infamous TLR (Texans for Lawsuit Reform), which was closely linked to the effort to impeach Ken Paxton. These two donors combined alone, donated a staggering $795,546.26 to Klick!
House District 91 is also important, because it is located in Senate District 9 held by Kelly Hancock, who was one of only two Texas State Senators to vote with the Democrats to remove Paxton from office. While Hancock is not up for reelection until 2026, he himself lives in HD91. We need to oust Klick in 2024 to build a foundation on which to build, in order to defeat Hancock in 2026.
Most importantly, HD91 is a competitive district. Not all of Phelan’s Dirty Dozen are vulnerable, but Klick is very vulnerable. She is challenged by true conservative David Lowe. Lowe arose in the last election cycle from being an unknown, to dragging Klick to a run off and finally falling short by less than 800 votes, making this a very winnable election for David Lowe.
Additionally, there has recently been an anti-establishment grass roots uprising in North Richland Hills (all of which is located in HD91). It is important to note that North Richland Hills is home to Hancock and Lowe. In a recent city election, citizens of this city elected anti-establishment maverick Blake Vaughn to the City Council. When the North Richland Hills City Manager had proposed a Tax Increase, Vaughn rallied the citizens against the rest of the council. Nearly 500 citizens emailed the council and so many citizens showed up to the hearing to speak, that many had to watch from an overflow room on a monitor. The result was that the City Council backed down and passed the “no new revenue rate” instead of the City Manager’s proposed rate. So it appears that North Richland Hills is a city ready to take on a fight with the establishment. the prefect place from which to mount an offensive against the establishment.
The race for House District 91 has statewide implications, and conservatives throughout Texas should be paying close attention to this race.
