Ten years ago, Steve Toth tried to pull off a coup against one of Texas’ most powerful Republicans.
Toth, at the time a former member of the Texas House, ran against longtime Rep. Kevin Brady in a 2016 primary that proved to be The Woodlands Republican’s closest race in decades. Along with two other right-wing challengers, Toth held Brady to 53% of the vote — his lowest total as an incumbent — while finishing second at 37%.
