Join us in person or online for a conversation with state Sen. José Menéndez.

Menéndez, D-San Antonio, assumed office in February 2015. He is a member of the Senate Criminal Justice, Higher Education and Intergovernmental Relations committees. Menéndez previously spent 14 years in the Texas House, representing House District 124. He also has served as a city councilman for District 6 and was chairman of the city’s Community Revitalization Action Group. Menéndez is facing a primary challenge for the District 26 Senate seat from state Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer.
