Carranza is facing off against state Rep. John Lujan, a San Antonio Republican, to represent House District 118 this November. A press release Monday initially stated the party would file a legal challenge to Carranza’s candidacy. On Tuesday, Coons said party officials are still reviewing a potential lawsuit against Carranza, but did not have an answer when asked about what law she violated.
Carranza said the Bexar County GOP was “taking a page” from former President Donald Trump, who last week questioned whether Vice President Kamala Harris, whose father is Jamaican and mother is from India, had only recently decided to identify as Black to appeal to voters. “It just seems, after 30 years, right before her race, that the name gets changed, that’s all we’re questioning,” Coons said.
