Republican Craig Goldman and Democrat Trey Hunt vie for outgoing U.S. Rep. Kay Granger’s seat.
This district has been deftly represented since 1997 by outgoing U.S. Rep. Kay Granger, the first Republican woman elected to the U.S. House in Texas. Now that Granger is retiring, Republican state Rep. Craig Goldman and Democrat Trey J. Hunt are competing for her seat.Goldman has a strong conservative track record— a great fit for this largely GOP district spanning the western half of Tarrant County and most of Parker County.
For this election, Goldman has racked up significant endorsements. He is supported by Granger, Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm.Neither Hunt nor Goldman participated in our Voter Guide, and we were unable to reach either for an interview. We are comfortable recommending Goldman, however, because he is a long-serving representative with a known track record.
