Justin Rodriguez


Justin Rodriguez is an American politician. He served as a Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives from 2013 until January 2019, when he resigned after being appointed to a seat on the Bexar County Commissioners Court. Rodriguez previously served on the San Antonio City Council, and was a Bexar County prosecutor.
In the race to succeed Representative Rodriguez, Fred Rangel, a member of the Republican State Central Committee for District 26 in the Texas State Senate, and Democrat Ray Lopez, a former member of the San Antonio City Council, met in a March runoff contest. Though Rangel polled nearly twice as many votes as Lopez in the February 12 initial balloting, Lopez benefited from a phalanx of liberal voters in the heavily Democratic district and won the election.
