Blake Farenthold (R-TX). He was basically a trust fund baby who self-funded his 2010 campaign because the state/national party didn't seriously contest the district.

And since he won in a redistricting year, the state legislature promptly reconfigured his district into a safe R seat and he's not going anywhere unless he gets primaried for some reason.

I wouldn't say he was a sacrificial lamb, but he definitely got lucky. Makes me thank god the next redistricting year is in a presidential year.
