One more thing The special election was triggered when Kamkar and Barry announced their bids to fill the open Texas House District 29 seat vacated by outgoing state Rep. Ed Thompson, R-Pearland. According to the Texas Constitution’s resign-to- run law, Pearland City Council members cannot serve on council while seeking election to a state office, resulting in the pair having to resign from their positions. Kamkar was first elected to Pearland City Coun- cil in 2020, and Barry was elected in 2022.
