This election cycle, State Rep. John Lujan hopes to beat Frank Ramirez and finally represent Bexar County in a legislative session. Lujan has twice won special elections to the Texas House — but he has never served while the Legislature met.
, R-San Antonio, came to the district to campaign with Lujan on Wednesday, and Abbott visited Thursday for the rally, which was held at Lujan’s brother’s feed store.
“He’s taken positions that have gotten him closer to the middle, but we know at the end of the day that he’s a handpicked radical by Gov. Abbott and Dade Phelan,” Ramirez said, “and for the most part, he’s just business as usual.” “This is a tough district for a Republican to hold and to have, but I don’t want to get caught up in that,” Lujan said. “I want people to see what I’m doing for the community. … I think that resonates bigger than anything.”
During the radio forum, Lujan said he has “done everything the right way,” consulting attorneys in the House “immediately” upon his election last year. He promised to give up all his shares in the company if reelected.“He says he didn’t do anything wrong, then why did he hide it this whole time?” Ramirez said in the interview. “I feel like that would’ve been a substantial piece of information for somebody to have prior to [Lujan] running or them voting.

How did books and school vouchers get tangled up in partisan politics? - North Texas Wants to KnowFrom taking books off library shelves to private school vouchers, issues surrounding public schools have taken a place near the center of the debate leading up to the 2022 midterms. And with Election Day just days away, we examine those two topics through the prism of two Texas school districts. In Keller ISD, parents are divided over 41 books that have been removed -- a second time -- for further review. Two district parents explain their views and why they think northeast Tarrant County has become ground zero for the nexus of education and politics. Then, we look at the voucher-adjacent program that almost got off the ground in Wimberley ISD, in Central Texas, with Forrest Wilder, a senior editor at Texas Monthly. He wrote an article last month titled 'Inside the Secret Plan to Bring Private School Vouchers to Texas.'
