The Texas Tribune reports:
U.S. Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Sherman, is quitting Congress and running for his old seat in the Texas Senate. Fallon filed Monday for Senate District 30, a seat that is newly open after its incumbent, Sen. Drew Springer, R-Muenster, announced Tuesday he would not seek reelection.
Fallon gave up the seat to run for Congress in 2020 after former President Donald Trump tapped then-U.S. Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Heath, to be director of national intelligence. Senate District 30 is a solidly Republican district that stretches from the Dallas-Fort Worth suburbs up to the Oklahoma state line.
Read the full article. Fallon appeared here in 2022 when he blamed mass shootings on the use of smartphones. In 2021, he fell for a satire site’s claim that the SPLC had classified veterans organizations as hate groups. In January 2023, he filed articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Fallon has a 0% rating on LGBTQ issues from the Human Rights Campaign and voted against certifying President Biden’s win. His Wikipedia page has a lot of say about his habit of lying while a Texas legislator.
