SAN ANTONIO — The Bexar County Democratic Party Chair announced her resignation Thursday, according to an official statement.
Monica Ramirez Alcántara has submitted her letter of resignation as County Chair of the Bexar County Democratic Party. She did not say if the recent election results played any part in her departure.
During her tenure Ramirez Alcántara has managed 16 elections, raised millions of dollars in support of Democratic outreach efforts, helped elect democrats to nearly all county-wide offices and implemented strategies that maintained the county as a Democratic stronghold, according to her statement.
She became the party chair in 2018 and will officially resign from her position pending the election of her successor.
I am grateful to the voters of Bexar County for electing me as County Chair in the past four elections. My decision to resign is based solely on my wanting to serve the voters of Bexar County in a different manor. I remain committed to our Democratic values and to public service. Therefore, in the interest of party continuity, I am asking that the members of the County Executive Committee elect Terri Flores Lopez as our next County Chair. I have confidence in her ability to lead and take our party to new heights.
The statement was also posted on the Bexar County Democrats X page.
