Frederick Frazier is an American politician and former police officer. He was the former Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives from District 61, serving from 2023 to 2025.[1]
Election history
[edit]In 2022, Frazier ran for the Texas House of Representatives. He defeated Paul Chabot in the Republican primary with 63.9% of the vote. On November 8, 2022, he defeated Democrat Sheena King with 58.3% of the vote. He assumed office on January 10, 2023.
In 2024, Frazier ran for re-election to the Texas House of Representatives. He was defeated by Keresa Richardson in the Republican primary, winning only 32.4% of the vote. He left office on January 14, 2025, and was succeeded by Keresa Richardson.[2]
Controversy
[edit]During his 2022 campaign trail, Frazier was endorsed by former president Donald Trump and was charged with impersonating a public servant.[3] Frazier was an active member of the Dallas Police Department until submitting his resignation in December 2023,[4] the timing of which seems likely prompted by the criminal proceedings around an incident in 2022 involving tampering with the campaign signage of Frazier's primary opponent, Paul Chabot,[5] and for which Frazier received the aforementioned charges of impersonating a public servant.
