In the swing district, Republicans have won the position during mid-term elections of 2010 and 2014 but lost it twice with the national victories of [[U.S. President]] [[Barack H. Obama]]. A public affairs specialist with the [[United States Air Force]] and a former member of the San Antonio City Council, Cortez will be deployed early in 2016 for as long as six months in southwest Asia. He is expected to return to San Antonio by September in time for the general election campaign against Galindo. Meanwhile, he will designate surrogates to represent him at campaign functions. Cortez has painted Galindo as too conservative for the district. Galindo's vote for the 2015 state budget, said Cortez, shortchanged health care services and [[State school|public education]].<ref>Gilbert Garcia, "Reserve deployment a hurdle for candidate", ''San Antonio Express-News'', November 20, 2015, p.
