-In his bid for a fourth term in the House, Frullo turned back an intra-party challenge in the March 1, 2016, primary from the former District 85 Representative Jim Landtroop, a [[conservative]], who  relocated to Lubbock from  Plainview in Hale County. One of the differences between the two candidates centered on then [[Speaker]] [[Joe Straus]], a Moderate Republican from San Antonio. From 2009 to 2019, Straus held the Speaker's post with significant Democratic backing. In his one-term in the House, Landtroop voted against Straus's second term as Speaker in 2011. Frullo, however in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017o backed Straus in each election for presiding officer. Frullo also had a fund-raising advantage over Landtroop.
