State Board of Education Member Ruben Cortez Jr.
District 2 (Democrat-Brownsville)
Editor's note: Texas has new political maps, but this directory lists lawmakers currently serving under the old maps that were drawn after the 2010 census. The new maps will be used in the 2022 elections, and the directory will reflect those districts in 2023 when the new officials take office. See which new district your home is in.
