Stovall is an avid backer of [[U.S. President]] [[Donald Trump]]; the ''San Antonio Express-News'' calls Stovall "effusive, worshipful, and fully committed to hitching his wagon to Trump's brash rhetoric, nationalist agenda, and stated determination to 'drain the swamp' in [[Washington, D.C.]]"<ref name=saen>Gilbert Garcia, "Candidate out to Make District 21 great again", ''San Antonio Express-News'', January 26, 2018, p.

Stovall's friend, Brad Parscale, served as Trump's 2016 digital director and is now working to elect Stovall to Congress. <ref name=saen/> Stovall had recommended Parscale's father, Dwight Parscale, as his interim successor, but the precinct leaders instead tapped businessman [[Mark Dorazio]]. Dwight Parscale finished a weak third (21 percent) in the chairman's race on March 6. A May 22 runoff is depending between two women, conservative Cynthia Brehm (45 percent) and Jo Ann Ponce Gonzalez (23 percent),  a former agent of the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.texastribune.org/2018/03/06/heres-how-five-most-interesting-local-texas-primaries-turned-out/|title=Here's how six of Texas' most interesting local primaries turned out: Bexar County Republican Party Chair|publisher=''The Texas Tribune''|author=Rishika Dugyala|date=March 6, 2018|accessdate=March `12, 2018}}</ref>
