Election 2026

After decades holding separate elections, Southwest ISD agreed to join the general countywide ballot in May. The change comes after San Antonio City Council voted to move its elections to November.

Katy Padilla Stout is the Democratic nominee for the 23rd Congressional District of Texas. This is a district that Republicans have held and has been considered a safe Red seat. But after current congressman Tony Gonzales dropped out of the race due to a scandal, and the GOP nomination moved to gun rights activist Brandon Herrera, Democrats are sensing an opportunity to flip the district.

Joseph Locke, author of "One State Under God: A History of Religion in Texas," discusses how politics and religion have long been intertwined in the Lone Star state, why Talarico's messaging was so effective in the primary, and how it could impact the general Election in November.

San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones is looking to boost voter participation in the city, tighten oversight of area data centers, and push back against new immigration detention facilities.

The San Antonio Republican says he will end his campaign after Republican House leadership called on him to do so amid an ethics investigation.

An order extending polling site hours was quickly blocked, leaving some Dallas County residents unable to vote.

Neither John Cornyn nor Ken Paxton cleared the 50% threshold in the Texas GOP Senate primary, forcing a costly runoff while Democratic nominee James Talarico gains additional time to campaign ahead of November.

James Talarico defeated Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, while Republicans John Cornyn and Ken Paxton head to a May runoff.

Scandal-battered Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales survived his primary fight and will advance to a May 26 runoff against challenger Brandon Herrera, keeping alive his bid for a fourth term in one of the nation’s most closely watched House races. On the Democratic side, Katy Padilla Stout won her party’s nomination.

No candidate in either crowded field cleared the 50 percent threshold needed to avoid a runoff.
