In 2022, Andy Hopper challenged incumbent State Representative Dr. Lynn Stucky in the Republican Primary to represent Texas House District 64 (HD 64), a North Texas House district encompassing the entirety of Wise County and a portion of Denton County.
Representative Stucky, who was first elected in 2016, went on to defeat Hopper with 50.3% of the vote. The difference between Stucky and Hopper was 94 votes.
Now, Hopper is challenging Stucky once more for the Republican nomination to represent HD 64.
Hopper is a software engineer, member of the Texas State Guard, and co-founder of Wise County Conservatives, a grassroots organization. He previously ran in the 2020 Texas Senate District 30 Special Election and earned 3.5% of the vote.
Hopper lives on a farm in Decatur, Texas with his wife Amanda and their three sons.
The filing deadline is December 11, 2023, and the primary election is on March 5, 2024.
