San Antonio's Marc LaHood defeats anti-voucher incumbent Steve Allison in GOP primary
Pro-school voucher candidate Marc LaHood has won the Republican nomination for Texas House District 121 with more than 50% of the vote, defeating State Rep. Steve Allison, a three-term incumbent. LaHood's win is a victory for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who donated nearly $700,000 in ad spending between Jan. 26 and Feb. 24 to LaHood — or 81% of the candidate's total fundraising during that period — according to the Texas Tribune. Abbott visited San Antonio three times last month to campaign for LaHood, a former criminal defense attorney who last election cycle ran a failed campaign to become Bexar County District Attorney.
