TX-HD121: School vouchers are on the ballot in competitive Texas House District

Texas House District 121 in north and central San Antonio is one of the few competitive races for the Texas House of Representatives this election.

Although the district has long been held by Republicans, including former Speaker of the House Joe Strauss, Republicans have won by increasingly slimmer margins over the last decade.

Even though redistricting made the seat slightly more reliably Republican in 2022, State Representative Steve Allison still only won re-election by a 10-point margin two years ago, according to the San Antonio Express-News.

The district now stretches from Olmos Park and Alamo Heights to the San Antonio International Airport, Stone Oak, and on up to the northern edge of Bexar County.

Texas Democrats see an opportunity to flip the seat blue after Allison lost the Republican primary in March. Allison was one of 21 Republican state representatives who voted to block school vouchers last year, which made him a target by Gov. Greg Abbott and pro-voucher groups.
