Kevin Roberts is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on January 16, 1966 in Amarillo, Texas, United States.
Upon the announcement of incumbent U.S. Representative Ted Poe’s retirement effective in January 2019, Roberts announced his candidacy for the seat against a crowded field of nine other challengers. After Roberts placed first in the March 6th primary with 33 percent of the vote, Roberts faced retired United States Navy SEAL Dan Crenshaw in a primary runoff election. A negative super PAC, funded by Roberts’ brother-in-law, Mark Lanier, ran ads opposing Crenshaw’s candidacy for the nomination.
Roberts was crushed by Crenshaw in the May 22 Republican run-off primary by more than a 2 to 1 margin. Roberts finished with 30.2 percent of the vote, compared to Crenshaw’s 69.8 percent. Crenshaw went on to win the seat in the general election on November 6, 2018.
