- Tina_Benkiser abstract "Tina Renee Johns Benkiser (born ca. 1962) is a Houston attorney who served as chairman of the Republican Party of Texas from 2003 to 2009. She became chairman on the resignation of Susan Weddington.Benkiser resigned as chairman on October 5, 2009, to join the reelection campaign of Governor Rick Perry. Under party rules, the chairman must remain neutral in primary election campaigns. Perry defeated challenges from U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and Tea Party movement activist Debra Medina in the Republican primary held on March 2, 2010. Benkiser was succeeded by Cathie Adams of Dallas, a conservative activist and the Republican national committeewoman from Texas. Adams was succeeded in the post in the state convention held on June 12, 2010, by Steve Munisteri of Houston, who thirty years earlier founded the Young Conservatives of Texas.Benkiser was elected to full two-year terms in 2004, 2006, and again on June 14, 2008. Robin Armstrong, an African American physician from Dickinson was the party vice chairman in the latter portion of Benkiser's term. He was elected to his second full term in 2008. State law requires that the chairman and vice chairman of political parties be of opposite sexes. When Munisteri was elected to succeed Adams, Melinda Fredricks of Conroe succeeded Armstrong as vice chairman.Under Benkiser's leadership, the Texas party won all twenty-nine statewide offices and maintained its majority in the Texas State Legislature. Republicans have had a net loss of seats in the Texas House under Benkiser though, after peaking in 2003, and lost two formerly Republican seats in the U.S. Congress with the resignation of Tom DeLay and the defeat of Henry Bonilla in 2006. In 2008, however, the Republican Party of Texas regained the DeLay seat with the election of Pete Olson, and also made gains in down-ballot races, achieving for the first time an absolute majority of elected offices in the state, from constable to governor, despite a disappointing year for Republicans nationwide.Benkiser is married to Eric Benkiser of Houston. Her law practice is in the fields of corporate transactions, business formation and operations, intellectual property, and sports and entertainment law. The Benkisers live in Houston, where they are active members of Second Baptist Church.Benkiser was recently a candidate for co-chairman of the Republican National Committee with former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, who ran for chairman. RNC members, however, chose Michael Steele, a former lieutenant governor of Maryland, as the national party chairman.".
