Summary
Texas House District 97 is heating up as incumbent Republican John McQueeney faces Democrat Beth Llewellyn McLaughlin in a showdown that could reshape the future of Tarrant County. McQueeney, a business owner and first-term lawmaker, touts his legislative wins—including border security bills and a highway memorial—and promises to keep pushing for affordability, public safety, and education. McLaughlin, a retired teacher running for the second time, zeroes in on school funding, opposing state takeovers and voucher programs, while pledging to expand healthcare access. With early voting starting October 19th and Election Day November 3rd, both candidates are rallying families in Austin and beyond—each vying to prove they’re the best steward for the district’s needs.
