A local congressman is facing reelection in November. Keith Self is the incumbent, and his campaign has touched on the topic of Sharia law. This issue has become a key policy point for Self as he seeks to retain his seat.

Further details about his stance and the context surrounding it are available from the Dallas Observer. The congressman's approach to this issue has been described as dog-whistling, which has contributed to anti-Islam hysteria in the context of a recent mosque vote in McKinney.
