We recommend in the Republican primary for Texas House District 67 | Opinion
Dallas Morning News EditorialThis editorial is part of the Dallas Morning News editorial board’s slate of recommendations for the 2022 primary.We strongly recommend Rep. Jeff Leach in the Republican primary for Texas House District 67. During his five terms, Leach has grown into one of Austin’s most active conservatives with consensus-building ability.
Leach, 39, an attorney, has represented the Collin County district since first winning the seat in 2012 and is serving his second term as chair of the House’s judiciary committee. The GOP-led remap has given the district a more red hue, adding the county’s rural northeast and McKinney, and keeping parts of Allen and Plano.
While Leach remains rooted in deeply conservative values, he has embraced bipartisanship. He showed that willingness last year when, after his bill to prohibit schools from requiring face masks gained no traction, he took a shot at compromise with a Democratic colleague on a measure that would have empowered school boards to set mask mandates with an opt-out for parents. Although Leach wound up not backing the proposal, it illustrated a refreshing openness to negotiation.
The Plano Republican also showed his bipartisan side when he proposed that a bill by longtime Democratic Dallas Sen. Royce West be named for West. Now law, the measure makes it easier for property owners to remove racist restrictions from real estate deeds.
