Voters decide legislative offices
AUSTIN (AP) — State Rep. Leo Alvarado Jr., a four-term
Democratic lawmaker from San Antonio, on Tuesday became
the fourth incumbent state legislator to be shown the door by vot
ers this year.
Alvarado, 60, lost to Trey Martinez Fischer, a 29-year-old
San Antonio lawyer. No Republican sought election in the 116th
House District.
San Antonio voters have been particularly tough on in
cumbents in this year’s elections. Last month, they ousted two
House members: Republican Bill Siebertand Democrat Juan
Solis. Rep. Charles Jones, R-College Station, also lost in the
March 14 primary.
The Alvarado-Fischer runoff was one of several taking place
Tuesday to finish Republican and Democratic nominations for
state offices.
In three races for the Court of Criminal Appeals, Repub
licans favored Sharon Keller for presiding judge, Charles
Holcomb for Place 1 and Barbara Parker Hervey for Place 2
on the state’s highest criminal bench.
Keller, who currently sits on the court, defeated fellow Judge
Tom Price. Holcomb, of Jacksonville, outpolled Guy Williams
of Corpus Christi.
In Austin, attorney Jill Warren defeated attorney Scott Loras
for the Republican nomination to face Democrat Ann Kitchen
in state House District 48. The winner in November replaces re
tiring Democratic Rep. Sherri Greenberg.
In Houston’s District 130, incumbent Republican Rep. John
Culberson left to run for Congress. In the GOP runoff. Bill Cal-
legari was leading Aubrey Thoede. The winner will face De
mocrat Fred Lundgren in the general election.
The San Antonio state House race was hotly contested.
Fischer promised voters he would be more accessible in the
district than Alvarado, who underwent surgery for cancer of the
esophagus last September.
“Before you can talk about education, crime or anything,
there was a very resounding message the people did not have ac
cess,” Fischer said. “We’re going to bring this office back to the
people of this district.”
