Brent A. Hagenbuch is an American politician and the member-elect for district 30 of the Texas Senate. He won in the 2024 General Election, replacing Drew Springer, who announced in 2023 his retirement.[1][2] Hagenbuch is a Navy Veteran and previously served as the Denton County Republican chair.[3]
Election
[edit]Hagenbuch announced his candidacy at the end of November 2023, for the open Senate District 30 seat that was being held by Drew Springer.[4] Springer previously announced that he will not be running for reelection earlier that month.[5] Controversy began soon after his announcement, debating about the residency of Brent among the other candidates in the Republican Primary Election, who wanted to remove him from the ballot.[6][7] Towards the end of January 2024, a judge allowed Hagenbuch to continue campaigning amid questions about his eligibility.[8] Hagenbuch finished with 36.38% of the vote in the 2024 March Primary Election, which he led amongst the other candidates. A runoff election was set for May 28, 2024.[9] Brent defeated Jace Yarbrough in the runoff election to advance him to the General Election against Democrat Dale Frey.[10] Questions about Brent's residency continued up to the general election, including from his democratic opponent.[11] With 65.1% of the vote, Hagenbuch won the 2024 General Election.[12]
