Political outsider. Constitutional Conservative. Friend. David Covey, a native Texan, is ready to fight for the values of Southeast Texas in the Texas House of Representatives.

David has humbly served in a variety of volunteer capacities both in his community and within the Republican Party. As a Fire Commissioner, board member for the local chapter for Main Street Ministry, a non-profit which shelters homeless women, and Chairman of the Orange County Republican Party, David has poured into those around him to make his community a safer place for our children to grow up. When he is not dedicating his time to those around him or the fight for freedom, he works in the oil and gas industry in Orange, Texas. David is also a published author and earned his Juris Doctorate in his never-ending pursuit of knowledge, strengthening his faith in the Constitution and our other founding documents. David is a loving husband to his wife, Esther, and father to two sons.

David Covey is a conservative warrior who has proven repeatedly that he will stand up for us and the issues we care about. On the other hand, Austin politician Dade Phelan wants Texans to praise him for doing the bare minimum. He is not fooling us. We need a fighter in the legislature who will not give Democrats the power to push their radical agenda or use their own power to attack other Republicans.
