Texas's 6th congressional district of the United States House of Representatives is in an area that includes Hill, Ellis, Navarro, Anderson, and Cherokee counties to the south and southeast of the Dallas/Fort Worth area plus the southeast corner of Tarrant County, a sliver of Dallas County and northern Freestone County. As of the 2010 census, the 6th district represented 698,498 people.[4] The district is currently represented by Republican Jake Ellzey.
The district was represented by Joe Barton from 1985 until 2019.[5] Other notable representatives include Olin "Tiger" Teague and Phil Gramm. The latter served as a Democrat, then notably resigned and ran as a Republican to win the ensuing special election.
A special election to fill the seat was held on May 1, 2021, with the winner being determined in a July 27 runoff after no candidate received a majority of the vote. In the runoff, Republican state representative Jake Ellzey defeated fellow Republican Susan Wright (the widow of Ron Wright and the endorsee of former President Donald Trump),[6][7] winning the seat.
