Guadalupe County names new Elections Administrator Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – There’s a new person in charge of overseeing local elections. The Guadalupe County Election Committee has appointed Cristian “Cris” Pérez García as the county’s new Elections Administrator. Pérez García was recently sworn into the role and will lead the Guadalupe County Elections Administration Office, where officials say she will be responsible for maintaining accurate, secure, and transparent voting processes across the county. With six years of experience in election administration in both Texas and Oregon, Pérez García says her focus is rooted in expanding access while also safeguarding the integrity of elections. “My goal is simple: remove barriers, provide access, and make sure every eligible voter in Guadalupe County can participate,” said Pérez García. “I am truly honored to serve the residents of Guadalupe County as Elections Administrator and look forward to working alongside this community. Election administration is more than a profession to me; it’s work I care deeply about. Over the past six years working in elections across Oregon and Texas, I’ve seen firsthand the dedication voters bring to the process, and that passion is what fuels the work I do
every day.” She says this commitment includes ensuring all voting methods are handled correctly — especially
mail-in ballots, an area of expertise thanks to her time working in Oregon. “I have hands-on experience now both in inperson voting and also voting by mail. So, one of the things that I’d like to focus on is ensuring that the ballots by mail get handled correctly. I think that because Texas is an in-person state, I wonder if there is enough focus being placed on the ballots by mail part of it, because it’s not the only way that Texas votes, of course, and it’s a federal process and needs to be correct and that’s my expertise in having handled ballots by mail in a large-scale operation. So, it’s one of the things I want to focus on,” said Pérez Garcia. She says her leadership approach will include both transparency and consistency. “Transparency is very important. So that really starts with building consistency, adhering to the law. And I know that Guadalupe County elections already has put themselves out there to the public as trustworthy. So just following the law, our responsibility is to follow established processes carefully so voters can continue to trust the results,” said Pérez Garcia. Elections, pg. 3
