SAN ANTONIO -- Longtime Bexar County Commissioner Lyle Larson announced Wednesday that he is seeking the Republican nomination for the 23rd Congressional District in Texas.

Flanked by supporters and family members, Larson made the announcement on the steps on the Bexar County Courthouse.

Larson, who has served as county commissioner and city councilman for 15 years, said he made the decision after speaking with residents in the district the past six months.

So far, Larson's only opponent in the March Primary is Quico Canseco, a banker and attorney from San Antonio.

The office is currently held by Democrat Ciro Rodriguez.
