A former Tarrant County Republican Party leader will serve as the state party’s next executive director.

Jen Hall, who chaired the Tarrant County party from 2011 to 2016, was announced as the state party’s new executive director on Friday. She is replacing John Beckmeyer, who is leaving to be Odessa’s city manager.

“Jen Hall will continue John’s exemplary track record as we move into our state convention and national election in 2024,” Chairman Matt Rinaldi said in a statement.

The state convention is scheduled for May 2024 in San Antonio.

Hall has worked with the state party as its organization director and deputy organization director.

“Thank you Chairman Rinaldi for this appointment. I’m excited to continue to serve the Republican Party, and I look forward to a successful 2024 and beyond.”

The Texas Democratic Party also recently announced a new executive director — Monique Alcala, who worked on the 2020 presidential campaign for President Joe Biden and as the Southwest Regional Director for EMILY’s List.

“I am honored to join the Texas Democratic Party, and every party leader, activist, and candidate across Texas, in our collective fight to turn Texas blue,” Alcala said in a Thursday statement. “We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I know that, together, we can bring Democratic victory to Texas in 2024 and in election cycles to come!”
