Trey Martinez Fischer
Trey Martinez Fischer (born June 6, 1970) is a Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives who represents the San Antonio-based 116th District, serving since 2019. He previously held this seat from 2000 through 2017. In January 2017, he was succeeded in the position by Diana Arévalo, the secretary for the Bexar County Democratic Party. In 2018, he unseated Arévalo in the Democratic primary for his former state House seat. He won the subsequent general election on November 6 over the Republican
House. Martinez Fischer did assume the Bexar County legislative dean's position on February 1, 2016, with the retirement of colleague Ruth McClendon. "Trey did a great job in the House killing many, many bills... We have differences of opinion, we debate. We're passionate about it, but we're also respectful about it," said Menendez.
Buoyed by the power of incumbency for just a year, Menendez defeated Martinez Fischer, 31,046 votes (59.2 percent) to 21,383 (40.8 percent).
