In a move that could send another strong conservative to Washington, Texas state Rep. Briscoe Cain is running for the newly redrawn 9th Congressional District seat.
“I want to run for Congress because CD-9 is MAGA country—home to a tremendous amount of hardworking, humble, and amazing conservative people. President Donald Trump’s people deserve a fighter who isn’t afraid of the Left or Cancel Culture, and will stand up for them in the United States Congress … I am up for the task,” Cain said in a statement announcing his candidacy.
Cain’s candidacy comes as the House could lose another conservative Texan, as Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, announced his candidacy for Texas state attorney general.
Cain, a Republican, has served in the Texas House of Representatives since 2017. The newly drawn 9th Congressional District would encompass parts of his present Texas House district and areas he previously represented before the 2021 redistricting in Texas.
Cain previously served as chairman of the Texas House committees on Agriculture & Livestock and Elections. An attorney by profession, Cain is also a graduate of South Texas College of Law Houston. He also has front-line experience dealing with a natural disaster, having served at a food and water distribution center as a member of the Texas State Guard following Hurricane Harvey’s devastation of Texas in 2017.
