State House Campaign Ads
- Kristian Carranza (D) has released her first TV ad for the general election in the race for Texas House District 118. The district, located in the San Antonio area, is expected to be a competitive battleground in the 2024 elections. Carranza, who won the GOP nomination, is working to flip the seat currently held by Rep. John Lujan (R), and this ad marks the beginning of her media efforts leading up to November. We rate this district as a toss-up.
