Desiree Martinez Klaus
Desiree Martinez Klaus is running for Texas State House Representative, Dist. 128 in Baytown, Texas, an open seat. Election day is November 3, 2026.
Desirée Klaus is a small business owner, longtime community advocate, and proud third-generation Mexican American. Raised in a working-class family, she learned early the dignity of hard work and the power of standing up for families who deserve good-paying jobs, safe neighborhoods, and the chance to thrive. Republicans are betting on our communities staying home. Desirée is proving them wrong—by showing up where it matters most: in Baytown, Crosby, Deer Park, Highlands, La Porte, Huffman, Morgans Point and Pasadena and every neighborhood in District 128. Her campaign is built on the issues that Texans live every day: jobs, cost of living, and affordable healthcare.
