Polly Looper, a Republican candidate for Texas House District 128, has signed the Texas First Pledge, formally committing to put Texas interests ahead of federal mandates if elected. Looper, a criminal justice veteran with nearly three decades of law enforcement experience, is seeking the seat being vacated by incumbent Briscoe Cain, who is retiring to run for federal office.
Looper brings extensive credentials to the race, holding a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice from Texas A&M International University, where she graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 4.0 GPA. She also earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational Leadership, two Associate Degrees in Police Science and Security Loss Prevention, and advanced certifications in private investigation, evidence collection, and emergency response.
As owner of Trace Investigations, Looper works closely with families, attorneys, and law enforcement on complex cases including criminal defense, missing persons, cold cases, and homicides. She also serves as a Title IX Compliance Investigator for Texas A&M, ensuring fairness, integrity, and accountability in sensitive matters.
A proud conservative, wife, homeschool mom, and small business owner, Looper has dedicated her career to seeking truth, standing for justice, and keeping communities safe. Beyond her professional work, she has collaborated with community leaders to combat crime, revitalize neighborhoods, and create safer environments for families and businesses throughout Texas.
Grounded in her Christian faith and guided by her belief in strong families, safe communities, and limited government, Looper is committed to defending life, protecting parental rights, safeguarding the Second Amendment, and preserving the values that make Texas strong. Her extensive background in law enforcement and criminal justice provides her with unique insights into public safety challenges facing Texas communities.
District 128 Opens as Cain Retires
Texas House District 128, located in Harris County, represents approximately 194,555 residents and has been held by Republican Briscoe Cain since 2017. Cain’s retirement to pursue higher office creates an open seat opportunity in the 2026 Republican primary, scheduled for March 3, 2026.
The district has consistently supported conservative candidates, with Cain winning his initial 2016 general election with over 86% of the vote. District 128’s political landscape reflects strong Republican voter preference, making the Republican primary likely decisive in determining the next representative.
Looper’s candidacy represents a significant addition to the growing field of Texas First Pledge signers seeking legislative office in 2026. Her law enforcement background and commitment to Texas sovereignty principles position her as a candidate focused on both public safety and constitutional governance.
The Texas First Pledge Commitment
The Texas First Pledge represents a formal commitment by candidates to prioritize Texas sovereignty and the interests of Texans over federal mandates. By signing this pledge, candidates commit to defending Texas’s right to self-determination and opposing unconstitutional federal overreach.
Signers of the Texas First Pledge commit to putting Texas interests ahead of party politics or federal pressure, defending the Texas Constitution and state sovereignty, supporting legislation that advances Texas independence, voting against federal mandates that violate the 10th Amendment, and standing with Texans who believe in self-determination.
Growing Texas First Movement
Looper joins a growing coalition of Texas First Pledge signers across the state who are running for office in 2026. The Texas Nationalist Movement’s electoral strategy focuses on building a legislative caucus committed to advancing Texas sovereignty and eventually securing a vote on Texas independence.
Her signing adds another experienced voice to the Texas First movement, bringing practical law enforcement experience and community leadership to the cause of Texas self-governance. The addition of candidates with Looper’s professional background strengthens the movement’s credibility on public safety and criminal justice issues.
