State House election

Douglas ran for State House as a Republican candidate for Texas District 113 in the 2020 elections. After the 2020 campaign, Douglas focused on serving the community in his pharmacies because of the COVID-19 pandemic. He said, "I wasn't sure about running again in 2022, but after seeing the broken promises and radical voting record from our current representative, I knew I needed to step up and join the fight for the future of Texas."

Douglas also launched the 2022 campaign after being unable to win the former with the slightest votes. He further assured that he had the momentum, support, and political climate to sustain him in upcoming elections. However, as the redistricting process was over, they didn't get the chance and were drawn out of HD-113. Furthermore, he frequently updates his campaign process on his Instagram account.
