Dr. Brian Babin wins Republican Nomination
U.S. Congress, District 36
Woodville, Texas – A crowd of over 300 people gathered in Woodville Tuesday night to celebrate the victory of Dr. Brian Babin, a dentist and former mayor of Woodville, in the Republican Congressional run-off election. Sharing in the victory were supporters who traveled from throughout the district which includes Orange, Hardin, Liberty, Chambers, Newton, Jasper, Tyler, Polk and a portion of southeast Harris counties. Dr. Babin won overwhelmingly in eight out of the nine counties becoming the nominee by a 58% to 42% margin.
The Babin campaign was a true grassroots effort. In his remarks, Brian Babin gave credit to his family, dedicated volunteers, supporters, a large number of business, elected and faith based leadership in the district and his fellow dentists who stood with him throughout the campaign.
The people of District 36 made their voices heard loud and clear: they want someone who will be an available representative in the District as well as an effective representative for the District in Washington.
Dr. Babin said in his statement: “When you contemplate running for office, the first question you need to ask yourself is, “Why am I running?” My answer 5 months ago was for my faith, for my kids and for my country. My answer in victory tonight is the same. I ran this race for my faith, for my kids and for my country. I have said over and over again during the last few months that this race was not about me. This cause is far greater than ourselves. It is a call to duty for all of us. That is why I am so humbled and honored that you are allowing me to be your standard bearer.”
Dr. Brian Babin will be the Congressional District 36 Republican nominee on the November ballot.
