Republican incumbent Lacey Hull is looking to continue her representation of District 138 in the Texas House of Representatives.
House District 138 comprises part of Harris County and contains a population of 198,419 Texans.
Hull has served in the Texas House since narrowly defeating Democrat Akilah Bacy in 2020 and continued in the role following her victory against Stephanie Morales in 2022.
Ahead of the March 5 Republican primary, Hull has been campaigning against challenger Jared Woodfill.
During the 88th legislative session, Hull was appointed to serve as a member of multiple committees, including Local & Consent Calendars, Insurance, and Human Services.
Additionally, Hull served as the vice chair for the Youth Health & Safety Select Committee while also serving as an at-large member of the Texas House Republican Caucus Policy Committee.
Hull’s campaign website details how she has “[s]uccessfully fought for record funding for border security,” “[d]efended our right to bear arms,” and “[p]rotected election integrity by making voter fraud a felony.”
“As a State Representative, Lacey is committed to preserving individual liberty, unleashing economic opportunity, ensuring public safety, and providing quality education for all students,” continues the website.
Some of the issues to which Hull is dedicated include the security of the southern border, protection of the Second Amendment, election integrity, and the funding of law enforcement.
Hull recently showed her dedication to securing the border and assisting law enforcement when she joined Gov. Greg Abbott in Eagle Pass to discuss the crisis and thank state officers for their efforts.
“I will continue to stand firm with my conservative colleagues on this issue, and we won’t back down from the federal government not only failing to support the border but trying to prevent Texas from doing so,” she wrote in a social media post after the event.
Hull has obtained endorsements from Abbott and former Gov. Rick Perry, as well as more than 15 different right-leaning Texas organizations.
The endorsements should come as no surprise, with Hull ranked as the 10th most “conservative” Republican in the House of Representatives, according to an analysis conducted by Mark P. Jones, a political science fellow at Rice University, for The Texas Tribune.
Hull previously worked with non-profit organizations to help protect the liberties of Texas families.
