SAN ANTONIO – If Democrats can win the Texas House of Representatives in November, San Antonio native and District 116 Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer hopes to become the first Latino Speaker of the House in the state’s history. The most competitive house race in the San Antonio area is House District 121 - former Speaker Joe Straus' former district. Martinez Fischer said he admires Thompson and welcomes “constructive debate” that will come from the race for Texas Speaker of the House. “I look forward to the conversation with my colleagues both current and future over the coming days," Martinez Fischer said. Martinez Fischer held his House Rep. seat between 2000 and 2017.
