Jason Alexander Isaac (born December 25, 1971)[1] is former republican member of the Texas House of Representatives.[2]
Isaac was unopposed in the Republican primary and defeated incumbent Democrat Patrick Rose 54% to 46% in the general election.[3]
After redistricting Isaac won re-election in his redrawn seat 54% to 42% over Democrat John Adams.
Following the retirement of long time incumbent Lamar Smith, Isaac was one of 18 candidates who were on ballot to replace him. In March 6 primary he finished 4th, failing to make the run off.
As a pro-life legislator,[4] Isaac supported a 2013 ban on abortion after twenty weeks of gestation that passed the House, 96–49.[5] He also co-sponsored companion legislation to increase medical and licensing requirements of abortion providers, a move which opponents said could lead to closure of many such clinics. During his congressional campaign he stated that Abortion should not be legal at any stage.[4]
Jason married Carrie Crain two years after she graduated. They have two sons, Aidan Isaac (born 2002) and Landon Isaac (born 2004).[6]
