Caroline Harris won the election for the 52nd Texas House of Representative District by a 12 point margin on Tuesday, defeating Democrat Luis Echegaray. This win makes Caroline Harris the youngest Republican woman to ever serve in the Texas House. She is 28.
The 52nd District, previously represented by another young member, Democrat James Talarico, was redistricted into a more friendly Republican district in 2020. Talarico elected to run in the bluer 50th District, opening the seat for a new incumbent.
Harris primarily ran a campaign focused on property taxes, border security, the pro-life movement, and parental rights in education. Her opponent, Echegaray, ran on immigration reform, gun control, the pro-choice movement, and improving infrastructure.

When asked about her victory, Harris told Fox News Digital “We pulled off a victory through hard work and sheer grit, effective messaging, and a grassroots army of volunteers energized and excited to flip this seat from Democrat to Republican.”
Early on in the race Harris received some high-profile endorsements including Texas Right to Life, Texas Values Action, and Gov. Greg Abbott, who released a statement endorsing her: “Caroline Harris is a lifelong conservative. Her experience working for conservative priorities with the Legislature will give her constituents a proven fighter with strong pro-life and Second Amendment credentials. I urge everyone in House District 52 to support Caroline Harris.”
