State Representative Ken King today announced that he is running for re-election to the Texas House of Representatives in House District 88. The newly passed district includes Andrews, Bailey, Briscoe, Castro, Childress, Cochran, Collingsworth, Donley, Gaines, Gray, Hale, Hall, Hemphill, Hockley, Lamb, Roberts, Swisher, Wheeler and Yoakum counties.

“It has been my honor to represent conservative values in the Texas House,” said King. “We had another great session, but there is still work to do. We must continue to increase border security, continue our progress in defending innocent life, lower taxes, protect the 2^nd Amendment, and fight back against the spread of harmful socialist agendas like critical race theory.”

Ken King played a pivotal role in the 87^th Legislative Session earlier this year, dubbed by the media as “the most conservative session in Texas State History.” King worked hard to help increase border security funding, pass Constitutional Carry, pass election integrity reform, and many other strong conservative bills.

During this Legislative Session, Ken King served as the Chairman for the Committee on Culture, Recreation and Tourism, which oversees agencies such as the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the Texas Historical Commission, and the Texas Commission on the Arts. Leading this committee, Chairman King worked on legislation that promoted state parks, hunting and fishing, secured funding opportunities for local libraries, and studied the impact of COVID-19 on the state’s tourism industry.

Representative King continued his support of women’s health by passing a bill that requires health insurance to cover any ovarian cancer screening approved by the FDA. King also passed legislation to create the Texas Commission on Virtual Education. This was a direct result of the implications that COVID-19 had on schools in the State of Texas. He continued his work on Public Education issues affecting all students and teachers across the great state of Texas.

King runs energy service businesses and is the co-founder of the KK-125 Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation. Ken and his wife, Robin, live in Canadian, Texas and are the proud parents of two children.

Austin – Thursday, February 4, Speaker Dade Phelan released committee assignments for the 87th Legislature. Representative Ken King was named Chair of the House Committee on Culture, Recreation and Tourism (CRT), and was appointed to serve his fifth term on the House Committee on Public Education.

“I am honored to have been named as the Chair of the CRT Committee, and am happy to continue working on education policy,” said King. “I thank Speaker Phelan for his confidence in me to contribute to these important committees, and I look forward to getting to work on behalf of House District 88 and the Great State of Texas.”

The House Committee on Culture, Recreation and Tourism has jurisdiction over a variety of topics including parks and recreation, the Texas music industry and the promotion of tourism. The Public Education Committee will deal with the public school system, elementary and secondary education programs, and have jurisdiction over the State Board of Education and the Texas Education Agency.

“Tourism, parks and recreation and our public education system are some of the most important issues facing the state of Texas,” King stated. “During these unprecedented times, I am grateful for the opportunity to help lead Texas on these vital committees.”

Ken King was elected to serve the citizens of District 88, which contains counties in both the South Plains and Panhandle sections of Texas, in November of 2012.
