State Rep. Lois Kolkhorst (R-Brenham) won the special election for the vacant District 28 seat in the Texas Senate. Representative Kolkhorst, who has chaired the House Public health Committee for the past four years, was endorsed by TEXPAC because she believes in protecting the patient-physician relationship and wants to keep the government out of your examining room. Her local physicians support her strongly, and she relies on them for guidance when creating health care policy. In a five-candidate field, Senator-Elect Kolkhorst won Saturday’s election with 55 percent of the vote. The seat became vacant after Sen. Glen Hegar’s election as state comptroller.
