In a continuing effort to allow voters to hear directly from the candidates, the candidates for Texas House District 149 were offered the opportunity to outline their issues and plans.
Texas House District 134 includes Bellaire and West University Place. The district has been represented in the Texas House by Rep.Ellen Cohen (D) since she defeated incumbent Martha Wong (R) in 2006 by a margin of 55.8% to 44.2%.
