TX-HD37: Democrats hope anti-voucher campaign will help win back South Texas House seat
HARLINGEN — Texas Democrats hope to retake a state House seat in the Rio Grande Valley by attacking the incumbent Republican — a first-term legislator — over her support for a private school voucher system.
Jonathan Gracia, an attorney and former Cameron County justice of the peace, is running to reclaim state House District 37, which is currently held by state Rep. Janie Lopez, a San Benito Republican, by positioning himself staunchly against school vouchers.
Both parties have named the seat a priority. Texas Democratic Chair Gilberto Hinojosa said the race will be close, but believes Gracia will win the seat back.
“We should do well,” Hinojosa said.
