Candidates Rush to Meet Texas Primary Filing Deadline Today

Candidates for the upcoming Texas March primaries must submit their filings by the end of today, December 8, 2025. This deadline comes as political tensions escalate, particularly following accusations from President Donald Trump against Congressman Henry Cuellar of disloyalty after Cuellar received a presidential pardon.

In a related political development, Mayor Jones of San Antonio is advocating for a shift in the timing of municipal elections. He is proposing to move these elections from March to November, a change aimed at increasing voter participation and aligning local elections with federal ones.

A recent poll indicates that a majority of Texans support revisions to the STAAR standardized tests, which have faced criticism for their effectiveness in evaluating student performance. The survey results suggest a growing consensus among residents for educational reform in the state.

In San Antonio, today’s weather forecast predicts sunny conditions with light breezes, reaching a high of 18 degrees Celsius (64 degrees Fahrenheit). As the day progresses, temperatures are expected to drop to a low of 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) tonight, accompanied by calmer winds.
