Overview of 2018 Republican primaries
See also: Factions in Texas state legislative Republican primaries, 2018 and Texas state legislative Republican primaries, 2018

The 2018 Texas state legislative Republican primaries featured conflict between two factions. One group was opposed to House Speaker Joe Straus (R) and his preferred policies on issues like education financing and property taxes. The anti-Straus wing included members of the Texas Freedom Caucus and organizations such as Empower Texans and Texas Right to Life. The other group was supportive of Straus and his policy priorities. The pro-Straus wing included incumbent legislators allied with Straus and organizations such as the Associated Republicans of Texas and the Texas Association of Business. To learn more about these factions and the conflict between them, visit our page on factional conflict among Texas Republicans.

The primaries occurred on March 6, 2018, with runoffs on May 22, 2018. There were 48 contested state legislative Republican primaries, outnumbering contested primaries in 2016 (43) and 2014 (44). To see our full coverage of the state legislative Republican primaries, including who key influencers were backing and what the primaries meant for the 2019 House speaker's race, visit our primary coverage page.

2016

Stucky's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Border Security: I will make border security a top priority in 2017, because I believe that a secure border is the first step to cracking down on crime locally and ensuring that Denton County remains a safe place to live.

Education: As our next state representative, I will fight to free our local school districts, teachers, parents and students from the shackles of standardized testing and the education bureaucracy in order to, once and for all, return control of the classroom to our local communities.

Religious Freedom: The state legislature recently passed the Pastor Protection Act in order to shield ministers and religious organizations from being forced to officiate over or sanction same-sex weddings, but in 2017 more sweeping legislation is needed to ensure that no Texan is ever compelled to endorse a union that is against their sincerely held beliefs.

Taxes and Spending: I would be a strong advocate for zero-based budgeting in the legislature. Rather than traditional budgeting where agencies are only asked to account for increases over the previous year's budget, I believe every line item in a particular department's budget should be re-evaluated annually and approved or denied without reference to the past. This would be a fair and objective way to determine what cuts can be made without impacting core government services, and those cuts can then be passed along to hard working Texas families in the form of tax relief.

2nd Amendment:

  • The 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution leaves little room for debate. We have the right to keep and bear arms and the government should have no say in the matter.
  • Unfortunately, every time there is a heartbreaking event involving gun violence and the mentally ill, there is an attempt to exploit the tragedy in order to push a strict gun-control agenda on law-abiding citizens. So we must be ever vigilant against any attempt to restrict our 2nd Amendment rights.[8]
—Lynn Stucky[9]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Texas

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
