2022 Election edit
Texas HD-65 boundaries were redrawn in 2021 as part of the decennial reapportionment following the 2020 US Census. As a result of redistricting, HD-65 grew to include several precincts in the more rural western portion of Denton County. Thimesch was elected to the seat in 2022 under the new map, and was sworn into office in January 2023.[2]
Thimesch voted to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton.[3] Thimesch has announced plans to run for re-election; two challengers have also filed for the Republican nomination, including Brian Brazeal and Mitch Little, one of the attorneys who defended Ken Paxton at his impeachment trial.[4] Little was Thimesch's campaign treasurer in 2022.
The Republican primary will take place on March 5, 2024, for the 2024 Texas House of Representatives election.
Thimesch is a potential candidate to succeed Michael Burgess in Texas's 26th congressional district in the 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas.[5]
