American legislative district
The Texas House of Representatives ' 66th district represents a portion of Collin County , including parts of Plano and Dallas . The current representative of this district is Matt Shaheen , a Republican from Plano who has represented the district since 2015.[1]
Upon being moved to Collin County in 1993, district 66 became a suburban Republican stronghold; recently however, the district has become increasingly competitive, with Democrats coming within 1 percentage point of flipping the district in both 2018 and 2020 .[2]
As a result of the 2021 redistricting, the district will represent parts of Frisco , Plano , Prosper , and Celina .[3]
