When his brother died in office in 1998 while campaigning for reelection to the Texas House in District 17, Kubiak, with the encouragement of [[Speaker]] James "Pete" Laney, sought to become the replacement Democratic nominee. Instead the Democratic county chairmen in the district nominated Theodora Vanderwerth "Teddy" Boehm of Brenham in Washington County in the southern portion of the district. She was married to a former trustee president of Blinn College in Brenham. Kubiak not only refused to support Boehm but endorsed the successful [[Republican Party|Republican]] nominee, Charles B. Jones of College Station. In the [[general election]] held on November 3, 1998, Jones narrowly defeated Boehm, 16,034 votes (51 percent) to 15,406 (49 percent).<ref>Texas Secretary of State, Election Returns, November 3, 1998.</ref>
