The current District 64 is located wholly within Denton County. It is one of three serving Denton County. In terms of geography it runs diagonally from Denton in the northwest end to The Colony in the southeast, and includes nearly all of the area surrounding Lewisville Lake. Major cities in the district include Denton, The Colony, Corinth, Shady Shores, Lake Dallas. Hickory Creek, Little Elm, Lakewood Village, and Oak Point. District 64 also includes the University of North Texas, Texas Woman's University, and the Denton County campus of North Central Texas College.

Prior incarnations of District 64

During the 1980s the district was located in West Texas. It is most notable as the home district (1984–1990) of Rick Perry who would later become Governor of Texas.

Elections

2006 candidates

Crownover ran unopposed in the Republican primary in 2006. John McLeod opposed Crownover as the Democratic candidate; the Libertarian Party did not field a candidate.

Though McLeod reported outraising Crownover by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, indicating her support might have been in decline, Crownover won re-election 59.92% to 40.08% to serve District 64 in the Eightieth Texas Legislature.

2008 candidates

Myra Crownover won an unopposed Republican Primary, earning 8,249 votes. John J. McClelland won an unopposed Democratic Primary, earning 10,854 votes. Jason Jordan was the Libertarian nominee. However, Crownover won re-election.

2014 candidates

Crownover was challenged in the Republican primary by Read King. Crownover won the primary with 54.97% of the vote to King's 45.03%. She was challenges by Democratic Party candidate Emy Lyons and Green Party candidate Braeden Wright. Crownover won reelection with 63.39% of the vote.

2016 candidates

Myra Crownover opted against running for reelection in 2016. Rick Hagen, Dr. Lynn Stucky, and Read King ran for the Republican nomination, while Connor Flanagan and Paul Greco ran for the Democratic nomination. Flanagan won 51.88% (4,077 votes) in the Democratic primary, narrowly defeating Greco, who won 48.12% (3,781 votes). No Republican yielded a majority on the March 1st vote so, per Texas law, the two candidates with the most votes ran in a runoff election. In the Republican runoff, Stucky ran against King and won 65.75% of the popular vote, becoming the Republican nominee.

Stucky defeated Flanagan in the general election.
