Drew Alan Springer Jr. (born October 27, 1966)[1] is an American businessman and politician who represented District 30 in the Texas Senate as a Republican from 2020 to 2025.

[4] Springer was first elected in 2012 when the incumbent Republican, Rick Hardcastle of Vernon,[5] stepped down after fourteen years in office[6] because of multiple sclerosis.

[8] It initially appeared that Springer had lost the 2012 Republican primary election in a heavily rural district, when his chief opponent, Trent McKnight, finished with 49 percent of the vote.

Springer noted that McKnight is a former Democrat who had never voted in a Republican primary election until his own race in 2012.

[12] The district, the second largest in the state in terms of square miles, includes a wide swath of twenty-two counties.
