Dawn Buckingham (February 21, 1968) is an American physician and politician who is Land Commissioner of Texas.

She was elected in November 2022 and sworn in on January 10, 2023.

2014

Buckingham was a school board member of the Lake Travis Independent School District from 2014 to 2015.

She was also an appointee to the Texas Sunset Advisory Commission and the vice chair of the Texas State Board for Educator Certification.

The district stretches from the Austin suburbs in Travis County, West to Texas Hill Country, and North to Abilene covering roughly 20,000 square miles of territory.

Buckingham was one of six candidates in the Republican primary to replace retiring state senator Troy Fraser.

Buckingham portrayed herself as a political outsider and was endorsed by former governor Rick Perry.

2016

In the March 1, 2016, primary she received 25% of the vote, with state representative Susan King of Abilene receiving 27% of the vote.

Because neither candidate received a majority, they advanced to a runoff election in May.

After a contentious campaign focusing on the records and geographic profiles of the two candidates, Buckingham won the runoff with over 60% of the vote.

In the November general election, Buckingham faced Democratic nominee Virginia "Jennie Lou" Leeder of Llano.

Buckingham won with over 70% of the vote.

Buckingham filed her first bill to subject faithless presidential electors to a civil penalty of $5,000 and to bar them from being electors in the future.

On March 7, 2023, a guest lecture by Texas A&M professor Joy Alonzo at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) was allegedly critical of Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick's administration's response to the opioid crisis.

Buckingham's daughter attended the lecture, and shortly afterwards, Buckingham called Patrick to relay Alonzo's comments.

Buckingham's run for Land Commissioner had been endorsed by Patrick the previous year, and they had served six years together in the Texas Senate.

Buckingham then also called Texas A&M's vice chancellor for governmental relations to relay the same information.

Within a few hours of the lecture ending, UTMB emailed a notice of formal censure of Alonzo to all lecture attendees.

A subsequent investigation and consideration of termination of Alonzo by Texas A&M was started.

The investigation was ultimately closed two weeks later and found no evidence of wrongdoing.
