Personal life and community involvement

Political career
Prior to his election into the Texas House he served on the Flower Mound Town Council.
In 2022 he ran for the vacant seat in the 63rd District, as then-incumbent Tan Parker opted to run for the vacancy in the 12th District in the Texas Senate.
Bumgarner faced three candidates in the Republican primary: Jake Collier (a former Denton County District Judge), Nick Sanders, and Jeff Younger (notable for his public divorce case where he accused his wife of wanting to change their child's gender without his consent). Bumgarner and Younger met in the primary runoff where Bumgarner won by a near 2-1 margin. Bumgarner then faced H. Denise Wooten in the general election, winning by a 10-point margin.
