Flower Mound, TX - Today Representative Tan Parker filed the necessary paperwork to run for a second term in the Texas Legislature as the State Representative for House District 63.

“It has and continues to be the highest privilege to represent Denton County residents in the Texas Legislature,” Parker stated. “I now look forward to going back to the voters and winning their approval for a second term as their State Representative.”

Enclosed entirely in Denton County, House District 63 includes the towns of Flower Mound, Lewisville, Highland Village, Pilot Point, Argyle, Aubrey, Krugerville, Sanger, Cross Roads, Krum, Ponder, Justin, Northlake, Copper Canyon, Double Oak, Bartonville, Trophy Club, and Roanoke.

Parker added, “District 63 is a fast growing region that needs strong representation in the Texas Legislature, and I want to continue my work on the district’s behalf.”

Delivering on his campaign promises from 2006, Parker supported multiple measures to reduce property taxes, increase border security funding, close the door on illegal immigration, protect traditional family values, and eliminate unnecessary taxes. His efforts earned Parker the Champions for Free Enterprise Honor from the Texas Association of Business, the Heritage Alliance’s Conservative Texas Leader Award, as well as recognition from many local officials in Denton County.

“Representative Tan Parker worked hard for our town when we needed him the most,” Daniel Cocanougher, Mayor of Justin, added. “He listens and understands and acts to represent our community.”

Parker concluded by saying, “Working with the many residents of House District 63, together we were able to accomplish much for our region. I can not tell you how honored I am to have earned this trust from our communities, and to have developed this close relationship with District 63. But much is still to be done, and I look forward to using that strong relationship to be an effective advocate for Denton County for years to come.”

Elected on November 7th of this past year, Parker resides in Flower Mound with his wife, Beth, and two daughters, Lauren and Ashley. Together they attend St. Ann Church. In addition to serving as a state lawmaker, Parker is also an Executive Vice President for Trivac Corporation.
