Texas GOP Chairman Tom Mechler’s Statement on the Special Election for Texas House District 118

“We are proud and excited to hear that John Lujan won the runoff election in Texas House District 118. John has worked around the clock to pick up the seat for Republicans, and we believe his election will foreshadow what is to come in 2016. Our field and engagement staff worked with John Lujan’s campaign to ramp up our outreach efforts in a predominantly Hispanic area of San Antonio. We are confident that our message is resonating with voters in a critical election year. It is encouraging to see how well our party works when we are united behind our candidate and believe that when Republicans work together, we win. While the fight is far from over, John Lujan’s win tonight represents a great sign of what’s to come this election season.”
