HD 119: Puente To Resign February 1
Vince Leibowitz | Jan 30, 2008 | Comments 0
State Rep. Robert Puente (D-San Antonio) has announced he will resign from the Texas House effective February 1.
Puente, who was facing a tough challenge from San Antonio City Councilman Roland Gutierrez before announcing he wouldn’t seek another term late last year, has now set in motion the likelihood of a special election for his district.
While it is likely Gutierrez will win the special election, it does give pro-Craddick forces the opportunity to find another candidate to run in this district.
