THCA PAC Endorses Justin Holland for District 33 House Seat

The Political Action Committee (PAC) of THCA has announced its endorsement of Justin Holland in the May 24 Republican primary runoff in Texas House District 33.

Holland is a city councilman in Heath and a realtor in the area. He is making his first run for the Legislature.
The endorsement follows an interview of Holland by the THCA Candidates Committee at the Victoria Gardens of Frisco. Each of the candidates recommended by the committee and endorsed by the PAC in the primaries have been successful.

THCA leaders cited Holland’s leadership in his community and his outstanding achievements in support of local businesses and economic expansion for Heath residents.

“Justin Holland has demonstrated leadership as a member of the Heath City Council working on behalf of local constituents and representing community interests,” Kevin Warren, President and CEO of THCA, said. “That same dedication can be seen in his concern for senior health care issues and nursing home providers are confident he will be an effective legislator and smart policymaker.”

District 33 is comprised of Rockwall County and a portion of Collin County. The candidates are vying to replace the retiring Rep. Scott Turner in the Texas House
