[edit] Elections
[edit] 2006 candidates
The district has been served by Myra Crownover since 2000. Crownover ran unopposed in the Republican primary in 2006. John McLeod will oppose Crownover as the Democratic candidate; the Libertarian Party did not field a candidate. The winner will serve District 64 in the Eightieth Texas Legislature. The early favorite was the incumbent Crownover, who has name recognition and is the Republican candidate in GOP-dominated Denton County. However Democratic challenger John McLeod reported outraising Crownover by a nearly 2-to-1 margin in recent finance reports, indicating her support may be in decline.
