Background

Despite Wichita Falls being a strongly conservative district, David Farabee won his races as a Democrat, primarily based on name recognition.[3] His father Ray Farabee was an attorney who served in the Texas Senate and as general counsel for the University of Texas System.[2]

In 2007, the Austin Chronicle named Farabee and fellow legislator Joe Heflin as "the most conservative Dems" in the legislature.[4]
