First elected in 2006, Representative Kelly Hancock is serving his second term in the Texas House of Representatives, representing Northeast Tarrant County. Hancock is an effective advocate for core conservative values of limited government, lower taxes, economic development, and strong family values.

During the 81st Legislative Session, Speaker Joe Straus appointed Representative Hancock to serve on the House Committee on Insurance and the House Committee on Environmental Regulation. Having served on both committees during the 80th session, Hancock used his knowledge and experience to author many pieces of legislation relating to the two committees. Kelly was also appointed chairman of the Republican Caucus Policy Committee, where he led 15 committee members in discussion on policy decisions regarding key legislation of the 81st Legislature.

Numerous organizations, such as the Texas Conservative Coalition and the Texas Heritage Alliance, have recognized Representative Hancock for his efforts in promoting fiscal responsibility and strong conservative values. Among other accolades, he was presented the "Legislator of the Year" Award by the Texas Fire Chiefs Association and the "Katie Sherrod Advocacy Award" for advocating for victims of domestic violence. Hancock was also named "Champion for Free Enterprise" by the Texas Association of Business and a "Taxpayer Hero" by the Texans for Fiscal Responsibility.

A graduate of Baylor University with a degree in Business, Hancock possesses an extensive business background through his work at Advanced Chemical Logistics, his family-founded chemical distribution company. Hancock began his commitment to public service shortly after the birth of his first child, Chloe, and spent the next 13 years serving on the Birdville ISD School Board.

Kelly and his wife, Robin, have been married 22 years and have three children: Chloe, Skylar and Harrison. As a family, the Hancocks stay very involved in the community through their participation in school, church and community events.

Representative Hancock is honored and humbled to give back to the community in which he was raised through his service and allegiance to District 91. He remains committed to working with local and state officials to ensure that Northeast Tarrant County's constituents are always well represented.
