UNT graduate, Krum resident Lisa McEntire to challenge Hopper for District 64

Lisa McEntire announced on Monday she will run for Texas House District 64, challenging incumbent Andy Hopper, who announced his re-election campaign in June.

“We need a representative who can deliver conservative results for our community,” said McEntire. “I’ve spent my life fighting for property rights, small business and local control—and I’m ready to bring that same fight to Austin.”

McEntire, who announced herself as a “longtime conservative advocate” in her press release, works in real estate and supports limited government, property tax reform and Texas values.

According to the release, she currently serves as the Texas REALTORS political liaison to State Rep. Ben Bumgarner and previously helped shape conservative legislative priorities and tax policy as a member of the Taxation Policy Committee.

McEntire’s experience includes serving on the Krum Economic Development Committee, the Denton Central Appraisal District Board of Directors and is a member of the Krum Lions Club.

She currently represents the National Association of REALTORS as Federal Political Coordinator for Congressman Brandon Gill.

“In the legislature, I will stay laser-focused on cutting property taxes, standing with President Trump to secure our border, protecting the future of North Texas water, fighting for parents’ rights and protecting our God-given freedoms,” said McEntire. “It’s time we sent a conservative to Austin who listens to the people, stands beside President Trump and will get the job done.”

In July, President Donald Trump endorsed Andy Hopper via a post on X.

Shortly after McEntire announced her campaign, Congressman Brandon Gill posted his endorsement of Hopper.

Bumgarner also shared his support of Hopper instead of McEntire.
