State Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer will chair the Texas House Democratic Caucus for at least the next two-years. Caucus members elected Fischer on Wednesday in a closed-door meeting in Austin. He defeated Rep. Gina Hinojosa of Austin. A third candidate, Rep. John Bucy of Austin, withdrew before the vote and endorsed Hinojosa. Fischer replaces Rep. Chris Turner of Grand Prairie. Turner didn't seek reelection after leading the caucus since 2017.
