By Sandra Sadek, Fort Worth Report February 11, 2022 Texas Senate District 10 is one of many closely watched races this upcoming primary election after lawmakers expanded its boundaries to include several rural counties. District 10 used to include most of south Fort Worth up to the northeast part of Tarrant County with cities like Colleyville, Southlake and Bedford. Now it is a predominantly Republican district following the addition of several rural, mostly white counties to the south and west of Fort Worth. Johnson, Parker, Palo Pinto, Stephens, Shackelford, Callahan and Brown counties are now in the district. The new map gives the Republican Party a chance to swing the seat back to red after current Sen. Beverly Powell, D-Burleson, won the seat in 2018 from Republican Konni Burton. Powell is seeking her second four-year term. Two Republicans want to flip the seat: state Rep. Phil King, R-Weatherford, and Arlington lawyer Warren Norred. A state senator's term is usually four years. The Fort Worth Report profiled all three candidates and their priorities ahead of the election. To read the full article, click here.
