Why this matters in Alamo Heights News
In Alamo Heights , where voters tend to lean conservative, the tightening U.S. Senate race between Ken Paxton and James Talarico could lead to increased campaign activity in the area. With the majority of Republicans now backing Paxton after the primary, his campaign may focus on turning out voters in reliable GOP strongholds like Alamo Heights.
