A month after returning from the Middle East, Isett in 2006 won his sixth term in the state House. He received 15,751 votes (66.1 percent) to 8,068 (33.9 percent) for his Democratic opponent, the Lubbock [[educator]] Pearlie Mayfield (born August 24, 1952). Isett was unopposed in 2008, as Republicans again prevailed in Lubbock County.
