Trey Martinez Fischer (born June 6, 1970), legally Ferdinand Frank Fischer III,[1] is a Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives who represents the San Antonio-based 116th District, serving since 2019. He previously held this seat from 2000 through 2017. In January 2017, he was succeeded in the position by Diana Arevalo, the secretary for the Bexar County Democratic Party. In 2018, he unseated Arevalo in the Democratic primary for his former state House seat.[2] He won the subsequent general election on November 6 over the Republican nominee Fernando Padron, 32,375 votes (70.4 percent) to 13,612 (29.6 percent). Martinez Fischer returned to the House in January 2019.[3]
Martinez Fischer was born and raised in San Antonio. He graduated from Oliver Wendell Holmes High School. He received his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Texas at San Antonio, and in 1994 was selected to study as a National Urban Fellow. He is a graduate of Baruch College of Public Affairs in New York City, and the University of Texas School of Law.
He was named one of the "10 Best Legislators" by Texas Monthly magazine in both 2013 and 2015,[4] who described him as a "soldier prepared to do battle but ready to make peace". The Houston Chronicle and the San Francisco Chronicle named him one of the "20 Latino political rising stars of 2012",[5] placing him among those under 55, "who just might change the face of American politics over the next two decades".
Martinez Fischer is the chairman of the Mexican American Legislative Caucus.[6]
