• Delwin_Jones abstract "Delwin L. Jones (born April 2, 1924) is a U.S. state political figure from West Texas who prior to 2011 was the oldest member of the Texas House of Representatives, having represented District 83, based in Lubbock, Texas. Jones was originally elected as a Democrat in 1964, when that party held 149 of the 150 seats in the Texas House. Jones was defeated for re-nomination in 1972 by cotton farmer Pete Laney. Twelve years later in 1988, Jones returned to the House as a Republican.Jones earns his living from farming and investments. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Texas Tech University. He and his wife, Reta A. Jones (born July 16, 1923) reside in Lubbock. His District 83 also includes the outlying communities of Levelland, Denver City, Plains, Shallowater, Slaton, and Seminole, Texas. Jones drove through the district over the years in a 1995 Buick Le Sabre, passing out some 800,000 "Delwin Jones" emery boards to remind voters on pending elections. Jones often begins his day of politicking meeting voters in some cafe.At eighty-six, Jones was a candidate for renomination in the April 13, 2010, Republican runoff primary. He was defeated by Charles Perry, an accountant who ran a grass roots campaign with support of the Tea Party movement, also known as "Taxed Enough Already". Perry prevailed with 10,109 votes (57.8 percent) to Jones' 7,392 ballots (42.2 percent). Jones polled 291 more votes in the runoff than he had in the primary, but Perry's total increased by 3,633 ballots over his initial showing.In the March 2 primary, Jones, backed by the president of the Lubbock Educators Association interest group, led the field with 7,103 ballots (37.7 percent) to Perry's 6,476 (34.4 percent). The third candidate, Zach Brady, with 5,240 votes (27.8 percent), held the key to victory in the Jones-Perry showdown. Brady, a Lubbock attorney, raised more than $250,000 and carried the backing of business interest groups, but he was eliminated from the race by his third-place showing.Jones had expect to win another term in the legislature on the basis of his name identification and longevity, but he conceded an "undercurrent" of disgruntled taxpayers made the outcome of the race uncertain.Charles Perry ran unopposed for the House seat in the general election held on November 2, 2010.In the Republican primary held on May 29, 2012, Jones, at the age of eighty-eight, failed in a bid to unseat Perry.".
