GOP Primary Runoff Pits Party Establishment Against Grassroots Activists in North Texas Senate Race

A bitter runoff election is unfolding in North Texas’s Senate District 30, pitting the Republican Party’s establishment wing, supported by Governor Greg Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, against a coalition of grassroots activists. The battle centers on the candidacies of Brent Hagenbuch, a transportation executive backed by the establishment, and Jace Yarbrough, an attorney and conservative activist backed by tea party groups. Hagenbuch is facing accusations that he does not legally reside in the district and donated to a nonpartisan mayoral candidate supported by local Democrats. Yarbrough has criticized Hagenbuch as an “Austin swamp darling” out of touch with conservative values. The outcome could have implications for Lieutenant Governor Patrick’s influence within the Senate.
