Hagenbuch won the primary in a district vacated by former Sen. Drew Springer, R-Muenster.
, The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.Former Denton County GOP Chair Brent Hagenbuch has declared victory in the Republican primary runoff to succeed retiring state Sen. Drew Springer , R-Muenster.
“Serving in the Texas Senate was never anything I aspired to. It is God’s timing,” Hagenbuch said in a statement. But unlike the case for many GOP primary runoffs, the race fractured alliances between top Republican officials and the grassroots, who teamed up to oust incumbents. Questions about Hagenbuch’s residency and whether he could run in the district shadowed his primary campaign — and aren’t resolved yet. The third-place primary candidate Carrie De Moor, later joined by Yarbrough, sued Hagenbuch, arguing that his primary residence was in neighboring Senate District 12 rather than the office building listed in his SD 30 campaign filings.
