MUENSTER – In announcing his candidacy, State Rep. Drew Springer said, “After much encouragement, I am excited to announce my bid for the Texas Senate.”
“Texas is under attack from the liberal left, and we must stand up to keep Texas the state we all know and love. I will continue to fight for our values in the Texas Senate,” Springer said.
State Sen. Pat Fallon endorsed Rep. Springer to succeed him. “Drew Springer will make an excellent addition to the Texas Senate,” Fallon said. “He has been a champion for the people of House District 68, and he will continue to fight for conservative principles for the great citizens of Senate District 30.”
Fallon has been joined by 50 state representatives, who have seen him work for years, in endorsing Drew Springer.
Springer was raised, educated and works in Senate District 30. He is a Christian and a lifelong conservative who fights to preserve traditional Texas values, promote economic development, works to end excessive regulations that stifle business and champions pro-life legislation.
Springer was raised in Parker County, is in the Weatherford HS Hall of Fame and graduated from the University of North Texas with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. He spent 15 years working for a railcar company as an accountant and eventually as president overseeing three divisions.
He left to join his father’s financial services business in Parker County, where Springer has specialized in agricultural managed futures for over a decade.
Drew and his wife of 29 years, Lydia, reside in Cooke County. They have three children, a daughter-in-law and one grandson.
