Mark Dorazio has lived a principled life of service dedicated to God, family, community, and conservative values.
Mark was the 4th boy, born to a large Italian family of 10 children in Derry, PA. He started working and paying rent at age 12 delivering the local newspaper. He followed his oldest brother to Lubbock, TX out of high school, and apprenticed in construction under three engineers that taught at Texas Tech University. He met his wife, Monica in El Paso, and they have been married for over 40 adventurous years. They raised four children and now enjoy their twelve grandchildren. Together they opened their own construction company, Dorazio Enterprises, Inc., after moving to San Antonio. Over the last four decades Mark and Monica have grown their business responsibly, operating most of that time as a debt-free corporation. Mark started as a carpenter framing houses, then worked on a broad array of construction projects. He is now doing heavy industrial & civil construction for power companies, and infrastructure projects in San Antonio and surrounding areas.
For 30 years Mark has been a very active member of his church, Lifehouse, where he has served as an Elder, Council Member, and Children’s Sunday School Teacher. He has participated in several local and international mission trips to bring support to churches, clinics, and schools. Mark has served on the board of The Justice Foundation, a legal defender advancing life, liberty, and justice for over 10 years.
Prior to serving as State Representative, Mark served as a Republican Party Precinct Chairman for over 30 years and was elected by his fellow precinct chairmen to serve as the Bexar County Republican Party Chairman from 2017-2018. At the 2020 State Convention the Republican delegates of Senate District 25 also elected Mark to his third term representing them on the State Republican Executive Committee—the governing body of the Texas GOP.
In his first two terms as State Representative, Mark championed border security efforts, delivered tens of billions of dollars in property tax relief, and fiercely defended life and the 2nd Amendment. He has passed legislation protecting elderly citizens voting rights, promoting warship manufacturing in Texas, and preventing waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid and other state health care programs.
His signature piece of legislation, a major step toward making gold and silver functional money, was adopted as model legislation by the National Association of Christian Lawmakers. The legislation was then passed and signed into law by Governor Abbott in 2025.
Mark understands the opportunities and blessings of this great country, and he is dedicated to ensuring that the American Dream is kept alive for future generations to come. As your representative, he has been a strong conservative voice for his constituents and will never stop promoting Texans’ rights and liberties.
