John Culberson won the Republican nomination for the 7th District in 2000 after 15-term incumbent Bill Archer announced his retirement. He finished first in the Republican primary. He won easily in November, taking about 75% of the vote. He has since been reelected three times, the last in 2006 over Democrat Jim Henley, a middle school debate teacher.
Like his predecessor Archer, Culberson is considered a fiscal and social conservative.
