David L. Farabee is a former member of the Texas House of Representatives.[1] He represented Wichita Falls for six terms, beginning with his first electoral victory in 1998.[2]
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 Hefling as "the most conservative Dems" in the legislature.[4]
