Texas House candidate Kristian Carranza, a Democrat whom the Bexar County GOP accused of changing her name to woo Hispanic voters, has used that same surname in professional settings since at least 2015, according to former colleagues.
'I just think it's very weird that Republicans have zeroed in on my name,' Texas House District 118 candidate Kristian Carranza said. Democrat Kristian Carranza is running against Republican incumbent John Lujan to represent Texas House District 118.
Even so, no lawsuit has been filed as of press time on Wednesday. What's more, Coons couldn't tell reporters at Tuesday's presser what law Carranza might have broken when she changed her last name to her mother's maiden name. "It was 'Kristian Carranza Thompson' , but we always referred to her as 'Kristian Carranza,'" said Puleo, who now runs a Washington, D.C.-based campaign consulting group. "That's how she interacted with people."
