This past November, Bexar County led Texas in wins for Republicans. We flipped the Fourth Court of Appeals and won Texas’ two most competitive House races, securing a strong majority in the Texas House. These wins were not by accident. They were the result of the tireless work of a unified and cohesive Republican Party of Bexar County.

As county chair, my chief goal remains securing further conservative wins in Bexar County as we shift our focus to the upcoming legislative session, municipal and school board elections in May, and laying the groundwork to recruit great candidates for 2026 and 2028.

It is in that vein that I share in my fellow county chairs’ call for party unity. We are the party of law and order, and I have deep respect for the rules and processes of the Texas House Republican Caucus. Representative David Cook prevailed in that process, and I offer my support and congratulations. This decision was made through an election process that highlighted the passion, dedication, and diversity of thought within our ranks—a true reflection of what makes our party strong.

While differences of opinion are natural and even necessary for a healthy democracy, it is our shared commitment to conservative principles and the future of Texas that unites us. As Republicans, our priority is clear: electing leaders who represent our values and building a strong, united party that can collaborate to make those values a reality.

Each county chair bears the burden of helping hold our elected officials accountable. In Bexar County, we have done just that. I am proud that all three Republican representatives from Bexar County have pledged to honor the outcome of the caucus vote, as I believe is their will of their constituents. Our Bexar County house is in order!

I know my fellow county chairs are working hard to encourage our Republican legislators to ensure the success of our Legislative Priorities in the upcoming session, and I leave it to their good offices to decide the best way to achieve that goal. I am confident the Republican Party of Bexar County is in lockstep with that effort, and we look forward to doing everything we can to help our Legislature have a history-making session for conservative causes and values.

Here in Bexar County, we have a critical role to play in this mission. With nearly two million voices, we represent a vibrant and diverse community that stands to benefit from the successes of a united Republican Party. Let us use this opportunity to come together, support one another, and focus on the work ahead with enthusiasm and purpose.

Thank you for your dedication to our shared vision. Together, we will ensure a stronger Texas for generations to come.

Respectfully,

Kris Coons
Chairwoman, Republican Party of Bexar County
