Fort Worth voters have delivered the results of four closely watched Texas House races, sending a mix of newcomers and seasoned legislators to the state Capitol. The unofficial returns, posted by the Texas Secretary of State, show Republican Armin Mizani claiming victory in District 98, while Democrats captured Districts 97 and 93.

District 98: Mizani’s win

Armin Mizani, a Republican from Keller, announced on Facebook that he is humbled and honored to represent the communities of Keller, Grapevine, Euless and Colleyville. Mizani said, “Whether you supported our campaign or not, my commitment remains the same: to serve every family in House District 98, listen to the communities I represent, and stand firm for the values that make Texas special.”

District 97: Democratic gain

In southwest Tarrant County, Democrat Beth Llewellyn McLaughlin earned 52% of the vote, defeating incumbent Republican John McQueeney, who received 48%. The race reflects a shift in a traditionally Republican‑leaning area, giving Fort Worth‑area voters a new voice in the Legislature.

District 93: Democratic lead after candidate withdrawal

Democrat Ericka Lomick, who withdrew her candidacy in September over eligibility questions, still led the unofficial count with 52% against Republican Alan Blaylock’s 48%. Blaylock, a former Fort Worth City Council member, remains in the race despite the earlier withdrawal, keeping the district’s representation uncertain.

District 102: Narrow Republican hold

Republican Rep. David Lowe of North Richland Hills held a slim lead over Democrat Yisak Worku, with 51% to 49%. The district includes Haltom City, Watauga, North Richland Hills, Richland Hills and parts of Fort Worth. Lowe’s continued service will maintain Republican representation for these communities.

District 92: Veteran Republican retains seat

Long‑time incumbent Rep. Charlie Geren, seeking his 14th term, posted 52% of the vote against Democrat Michelle Winder’s 48%. The district covers west Fort Worth and northwest Tarrant County, ensuring continued Republican leadership.

The winners will serve in the lower chamber of the Texas Legislature for the next two years, joining fellow Fort Worth representatives Ramon Romero (D) and Nicole Collier (D), whose seats were uncontested. The next legislative session begins on Jan. 12 and runs through May 31.

These results underscore the competitive nature of Fort Worth’s House races and the importance of every vote in shaping the region’s voice at the state level.
