Rick Martinez owns Texas Universal Lighting LLC and won the Republican primary outright over Chuck Mercer IV.
He was born on a U.S. Army base in Germany and is active with the San Antonio Food Bank and his own charity work in San Antonio.
Martinez’s take on Texas values
Martinez wants to abolish the homestead property tax entirely, arguing it would relieve homeowners and encourage investment; this is a tax-cut approach rather than direct renter or housing-affordability investment. [campaign website; sanantonioreport.org]
