Dallas County Conservatives

This article is Part 1 of a four-part series demonstrating how the money in a lobby sector can impact state politics and legislation.

Texas House District 92 includes Bedford, Euless, Hurst, and portions of other communities in Tarrant County.

Texas House District 2, east of Dallas, includes Hopkins, Hunt, and Van Zandt counties. Republican incumbent House Rep. Dan Flynn’s consistent political shift to the left, combined with his outright opposition to the Republican Party platform position against taxpayer-funded lobbying has earned him two challengers on his right flank. Republican challenger Bryan Slaton is back for a third showdown against Flynn, and Republican activist Dwayne Collins has also thrown his hat into the ring. The winner of this three-way Republican battle will face Democrat contender Bill Brannon in November.
