Texas House District 86 (Randall County)

Voters in Randall County will cast their ballots in the House District 86 race to replace retiring State Rep. John Smithee (R-Amarillo). Smithee, a long-time fixture of the House, is leaving office after a successful legislative career spanning more than four decades.

Republicans have nominated Holly Jeffreys as their candidate to replace Smithee. Jeffreys, an educator, medical professional, and former Bushland ISD school board member, advanced from the March primary election after defeating activist and business owner Jamie Haynes.

Freshman Republican State Rep. Caroline Fairly (R-Amarillo) is up for re-election in District 87, which includes all of Potter County. Fairly was unopposed in the primary election and will be facing her second contested general election this year.

Fairly is an Amarillo native and medical negotiator. As a state representative, one of Fairly’s top legislative achievements was leading the effort to pass a bill that limited smart devices and cell phones in classrooms.
