Texas Senate, District 18

Texas Senate, District 18

District 18 of the Texas Senate is a senatorial district that currently serves all of Aransas, Austin, Bastrop, Caldwell, Calhoun, Colorado, DeWitt, Fayette, Goliad, Gonzales, Jackson, Lavaca, Matagorda, Refugio, Victoria, Waller, Washington and Wharton counties and a western portion of Fort Bend County in the U.S. state of Texas. The current Senator from District 18 is Republican Glenn Hegar, who won the seat in 2006 after incumbent Democrat Ken Armbrister retired, making it the only Texas Senate seat to switch parties in 2006, which was highly unusual as 2006 was a forgettable year for Republicans, who lost control of both houses of the United States Congress that year.
