By Bob Francis, Fort Worth Report March 12, 2022 The runoff to replace current state Rep. Matt Krause will see a political newcomer facing off against a candidate with an established track record. Candidate Nate Schatzline, a first-time candidate, garnered 43.6% of the vote in the three-way race against former Southlake mayor Laura Hill (36.5%) and Fort Worth Councilman Cary Moon (19.9%). That puts Schatzline up against Hill in the Republican primary runoff set for May 24. Moon, who resigned his District 7 seat to enter the race, said on Twitter that he will not seek re-election for City Council. "Even though both are Republican, both offer a different perspective," said Carlos Rovelo, history and government professor at Tarrant County College. "I think at the end, what is going to count is who sounds more conservative. So we know that the conservative values that both are advocating for like school, education, the right to life, the pro-life support, those are things that are very at the center of Republican values."
