Wheeler launching bid for U.S. House seat

Boerne’s Michael Wheeler on Friday announced his intention to run for the U.S. House of Representatives District 21 seat in the 2026 general election.

Chip Roy, the current District 21 House representative, announced Aug. 21 he will run for attorney general next year, rather than seek another term in the House. Texas AG Ken Paxton is running for the U.S. Senate seat.

Wheeler, the former Kendall County Republican Party chair, relocated to Washington, D.C., in June as he took on a position as senior adviser for the U.S. Small Business Administration, serving in the Office of Investment and Innovation in the nation’s capital.

The 21st congressional district serves the area north of San Antonio and a significant portion of Austin as well as parts, or all, of Boerne, Fredericksburg, Ingram, Kerrville, Kyle, New Braunfels, and San Marcos.
