Caroline Harris won the election for the 52nd Texas House of Representative District by a 12 point margin on Tuesday, defeating Democrat Luis Echegaray. This win makes Caroline Harris the youngest Republican woman to ever serve in the Texas House. She is 28.
The 52nd District, previously represented by another young member, Democrat James Talarico, was redistricted into a more friendly Republican district in 2020. Talarico elected to run in the bluer 50th District, opening the seat for a new incumbent.
Harris primarily ran a campaign focused on property taxes, border security, the pro-life movement, and parental rights in education. Her opponent, Echegaray, ran on immigration reform, gun control, the pro-choice movement, and improving infrastructure.
