When District 125 State Representative Ray Lopez announced his retirement in 2025, a half dozen candidates filed to run for his seat in 2026: four Democrats and two Republicans. The top two vote-getters in the Democratic primary will face off one more time on May 26, for a chance to face Republican Ricardo “Rick” Martinez in November.
Public school teacher and advocate Adrian Reyna got the most votes with 39%, ahead of Former Bexar County Constable Michelle Barrientes Vela’s 35%, but that wasn’t the 50% plus one needed to win the nomination outright.
In State Senate District 19, Republicans Marcus Cardenas (44%) and Robert Marks Jr. (32%) will face off one more time for the opportunity to take on incumbent Democrat Roland Gutierrez in November.
Cardenas, a San Antonio small business owner, has never run for public office. Marks ran for the Schertz City Council in 2024. According to his campaign website, he is retired.
Election day is May 26. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.
