Since 2010, SD 22 has been represented by Republican Brian Birdwell. This district is in and around the Dallas-Fort Worth area and was one of several districts that seemed to get shuffled around during redistricting. In 1993, SD 22 was represented by Republican Jane Nelson, who currently represents SD 12. Back then SD 22 was made up of Bosque, Comanche, Denton, Eastland, Erath, Hamilton, Hood, Johnson, Palo Pinto, Parker, Somervell, Tarrant, and Wise counties. Enter redistricting a couple years later, and Republican David Sibley represents a larger SD 22 with the addition of Hill, Jack, and McLennan counties. Fast forward to 2002, Sibley resigns and Republican Kip Averitt becomes the new senator for District 22. Citing health reasons, Averitt resigns and a special election is order, and Birdwell becomes the new Senator for a smaller District 22.
