Susan King (Texas politician)
Susan Lewis King (born 1952) is an American Republican politician who represented District 71 in the Texas House of Representatives from 2007 to 2017.[1]
In 2016, King was one of six candidates in the Republican primary to replace retiring state senator Troy Fraser in Texas Senate District 24.[2] In the March 1, 2016, primary she received 27% of the vote, with Dawn Buckingham receiving 25% of the vote.[3] Because neither candidate received a majority, they advanced to a runoff election in May. After a contentious campaign focusing on the records and geographic profiles of the two candidates,[4] Buckingham won the runoff with over 60% of the vote.[5]
