Our Party

“Democrats in Texas MUST HOLD Governor Abbott  and GOP-controlled legislature  accountable for their on-going “culture wars” and ignoring  “kitchen table issues” facing Texans today.  Democrats need to continue & step up our effort in voter registration and GOTV  to VOTE THEM OUT in 2022….to create a better Texas for all!"
 
​

​-- Monica Alcantara, Chair,
Bexar County Democratic Party
The Democratic Party is one of the oldest local political organizations in the country established in 1852. Throughout its 168-year old existence, the Bexar County Democratic Party has promoted the Democratic Party values, traditions and history as a local political organization dedicated to representing concerns of ALL citizens in Bexar County. Today, the BCDP is growing its community participation with an eye on:
  • Diversity and social justice for every citizen regardless of economic status
  • Protecting every American’s  right to vote and holding elected officials accountable to their oath of office
  •  Supporting  equal pay for equal work and legislation that will deliver “living wages” for all Americans
  • Accessibility  to affordable healthcare for all citizens
  • Social justice reform                                                      
The BCDP is led by its Chairperson elected to the position for a two year term by self-declared registered voters with the Democratic Party. The Chairperson oversees the BCDP with participation from its Executive Council comprised of an elected representative from Bexar County’s Precinct 1, 2, 3 & 4.  Additionally, elected and/or appointed precinct chairs create the County Executive Committee better known as the CEC. The CEC is the governing body of the Bexar County Democratic Party consisting of committed Democrats working with and keeping registered Democrats in our neighborhood precincts throughout Bexar County informed, educated & updated with the current political issues, elected officials and representing their
constituents while continuing to develop a “pipeline” of future Democratic candidates and officeholders.  The CEC, by majority vote, may adopt continuing rules for the conduct of its business and carry out the CEC’s role of managing the party’s affairs. Since 2018, the number of vetted and trained precinct chairpersons in the BCDP has more than doubled from approximately 150 to more than 350! Throughout the BCDP’s long and rich history, local individuals dedicated to traditional Democratic values of “governance & legislation for the greater good” of American society have stepped up to the task of leading the organization. In the last half century names like Peters, Quintanilla, Ramos, Vela, Martinez, Medina and Alcantara have taken the reins to oversee the responsibility of keeping elected Democratic officials in office and helping Democratic Party candidates get elected in Bexar County.  While the manner, ideas and strategies implemented to meet this common goal has varied from Chairperson to Chairperson over the last 50 years of the BCDP, the goal and commitment to meet the basic goal of electing DEMOCRATS to office has always been the passion of the day. This passion to serve ALL Americans continues just as strong today as it ever has! The mid-term elections of 2018 established a “high water mark” for the BCDP when Chairwoman Alcantara, the CEC and hundreds of local volunteers of the BCDP delivered 51 victories out of 51 contested races for the Bexar County Democratic Party.  This achievement serves as a “stepping stone” for the Bexar County Democratic Party to deliver its part in the effort of turning the state of Texas “Democrat Blue” in 2022!
