As dove season opens across Texas, Patrick Von Dohlen is reflecting on the traditions, freedoms, and responsibilities that have shaped Bexar County, Texas, and the United States.
Hunting is about more than the harvest. It brings families and friends together, connects generations, and provides an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of God’s creation and the land Texans are blessed to call home.
These traditions are part of a much larger story. In 2026, Texas and Bexar County mark 190 years of history, while the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of American independence.
Honoring the Generations Who Came Before Us
For generations, Texans have defended the freedoms, communities, and way of life we enjoy today. Honoring that inheritance means more than remembering our history—it means accepting responsibility for what we pass on to our children and grandchildren.
That responsibility includes participating in the decisions that determine the future of our county, state, and country.
November 3 Matters
Election Day is November 3, 2026, and the choices Bexar County voters make will have consequences for years to come.
This election is about the direction of county government, the protection of taxpayers, public safety, responsible growth, and whether Bexar County will have leadership that respects the people it serves.
Patrick is inviting every Bexar County citizen to learn more about his campaign, understand what is at stake, and make a plan to vote.
Our history is worth honoring, our freedoms are worth protecting, and the future of Bexar County is worth fighting for.
