SAN ANTONIO — The developments of Election Day may provide a bit of deja vu for Texans who voted for a candidate in the Texas Congressional District 121 race. In a rematch of 2018, Republican Steve Allison defeated Democrat Celina Montoya to retain his seat, keeping the district red. To go further, the 2020 race nearly replicated the two candidates share of the electorate from 2018.
Montoya, a San Antonio native and former radio journalist, had hopes that her second general-election matchup with Allison for the District 121 seat goes in her favor on Election Day. Allison narrowly defeated Montoya with 53% of the vote to her 45% in 2018; less than 6,200 votes separated them out of 71,522 cast.
The district, comprised of parts of north San Antonio, still hasn't gone blue this century. Allison had also amassed the bigger war chest.
