Texas Senate: Hagenbuch v. Frey

Republican Brent Hagenbuch, the founder of Titus Transport of Denton, and his Democratic opponent, Dale Frey, a web developer assigned to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency, are running for the District 30 Texas Senate seat that will be vacated by Republican incumbent Drew Springer in January.

Neither Mr. Hagenbuch nor Mr. Frey responded to multiple requests for interviews.

The Enterprise is reprinting a previous interview with Mr. Hagenbuch, and information from Mr. Frey’s campaign website.

Mr. Hagenbuch visited Olney in February during the primaries, and revealed that while he served as Denton County GOP chairman, he has never run for office.

“I support everything the Governor has done,” he said of Gov. Greg Abbott’s efforts to shut the Texas-Mexico border to illegal migrants and to bring attention to the problem by shipping migrants to northern cities To keep Texas’ economy going strong, Mr. Hagenbuch recommended “full speed on drilling and more tax cuts,” including cutting the homestead exemption to $125,000 from the current $100,000.

Mr. Hagenbuch said that while he thinks “highly” of Texas public schools, and believes teacher pay should not be linked to the passage of school vouchers, he supports “parental choice” and believes some “kids are being indoctrinated by a liberal ‘woke’ agenda,” he said.
