In his run for a third term as Bexar County sheriff, Democratic incumbent Javier Salazar faces a Republican challenger who has the backing of Governor Greg Abbott. Nathan Buchanan is a former Bexar County deputy and Castle Hills police officer who ran unsuccessfully for Bexar County judge in 2022 and for constable in 2016 and 2020. At the Democratic National Convention in August, Salazar claimed former President Donald Trump doesn't help Texas law enforcement officials. Several South Texas sheriffs sounded off to disagree.
