===2016 race in Lubbock County===

In his attempt to return to the legislature, Landtroop faced fellow Republican John Frullo in the 84th House district. One of the differences between the two candidates centered on Moderate Republican House Speaker [[Joe Straus]] of [[San Antonio]], who presided over the House from 2011 to 2019.  In his term in the House, Landtroop voted against Straus as Speaker in 2011; since he entered the House, Frullo backed Straus for Speaker. Frullo had a large fundraising advantage over Landtroop. Between January 22 and February 20, 2016, Frullo raised $237,912, Landtroop, $58,845. In three campaign finance reports filed since January 15, 2016, Frullo raised $418,000; Landtroop, $132,000. Landtroop's employer, State Farm, through its [[political action committee]], gave $7,500 to Frullo, the chairman of the House Insurance Committee, but nothing to challenger Landtroop.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lubbockonline.com/election/2016-02-23/frullo-outraises-landtroop-house-84-fundraising-race#.Vs3cmY-cH3y|title=Frullo outraises Landtroop in House 84 fundraising race|publisher=''The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal''|date=February 23, 2016|author=Enrique Rangel|accessdate=February 24, 2016}}</ref>​
