'''Cynthia Turner Brehm''', formerly known as '''Cindy Speer''' (born May 11, 1960), is the chairman of the Bexar County [[Republican Party]], based in [[San Antonio]], [[Texas]]. She was chosen by voters in the runoff election held on May 22, 2018, to succeed the interim chairman, [[Mark Dorazio]], who like Brehm is considered a staunch [[conservative]] in the party, which also has a considerable [[Moderate Republican]] wing associated with outgoing state House Speaker [[Joe Straus]].
Dorazio was not a candidate for a full-term as Bexar County chairman in the March 6 primary but remains the Precinct 3091 chairman. Brehm, who lost a 2015 bid for [[mayor]] of San Antonio and a 2017 race for the District 8 seat on the city council, led the four-candidate field for county chairman.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ballotpedia.org/Cynthia_Brehm|title=Cynthia Brehm|publisher=Ballotpedia.org|accessdate=January 22, 2018}}</ref> Other candidates in the March 6 primary were Dwight Parscale, who had lost the interim election to Dorazio, and finished the primary with 21 percent of the ballots cast. JoAnn Ponce Gonzalez (23 percent), a former agent with the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms who carried considerable business support, entered the May 22 runoff with Brehm. Andres Holliday finished fourth with the remaining 11 percent of the vote.<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 7, 2018|accessdate=March `12, 2018}}</ref>
A descendant of original settlers from the [[Canary Islands]] who were instrumental in the founding of San Antonio, Brehm defeated Ponce Gonzalez in the runoff contest.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/CynthiaBrehmTx/|title=Cynthia Brehm|publisher=[[Facebook]]|accessdate=May 24, 2018}}</ref>
