Earl Jeffrey "Jeff" Wentworth (born November 20, 1940) is a Republican member of the Texas Senate since 1993. He succeeded Republican Cyndi Taylor Krier (then District 26), who instead became the Bexar County judge. The current District 25 includes northern portions of Bexar County, all of Comal, Guadalupe, Hays, and Kendall Counties, and portions of southern Travis County.

From 1988 to 1993, Wentworth served in the Texas House of Representatives from District 123. He won a special election on May 7, 1988, called when the Republican Representative Kae T. Patrick of San Antonio resigned in his fourth term. Wentworth was himself succeeded in the House by Republican Frank Corte, Jr., a real estate businessman from San Antonio. Corte was subsequently switched to District 122 in 2003.

Wentworth is serving his seventh term in the Texas Senate where he was president pro tem in 2004-2005 and where he was inaugurated as Governor of Texas for a Day on November 20, 2004.

Wentworth, a fourth generation Texan, was first elected to the Texas Senate in 1992 after serving nearly five years in the Texas House of Representatives. He represents the nearly one million people of District 25, which consists of Comal, Hays, Kendall and Guadalupe Counties as well as north Bexar County and south Travis County.

Susan D. Reed is the Criminal District Attorney of Bexar County, Texas. Her office was involved in controversy surrounding the disputed murder conviction of Ruben Cantu, a man executed by lethal injection in 1993 by Texas. She is a member of the Republican Party.

Reed was elected District Attorney of Bexar County (San Antonio) in 1998, becoming the first woman to hold the office. She served as Judge of the 144th District Court (San Antonio) from 1986 to 1998. She served as an Assistant District Attorney for Bexar County from 1974 to 1982, including duties as chief prosecutor for court districts 144 and 187. Reed was in private practice from 1982 to 1986, with the firm Soules and Reed, specializing in business litigation.

During her tenure as a 144th District Court Judge, she helped create a "Gang Unit" in the Adult Probation department. As Bexar County District Attorney, she has created a new "Elder Fraud Unit" and successfully lobbied the Texas Legislature to increase penalties for crimes against the elderly. Reed is a member of the National Advisory Council on Violence Against Women. She was appointed to the Criminal Justice Policy Council for Governor Bill Clements. Later, Governor George W. Bush appointed her to serve on the Governor’s Juvenile Justice Advisory Board. She continues to serve on that board under Governor Rick Perry.

Elizabeth Ames Jones (born October 29, 1956) is a former member of the elected Texas Railroad Commission, a regulatory body that oversees the oil and natural gas industries in Texas — as opposed to railroads, as its name suggests. Prior to her original appointment to the commission in 2005 by Governor Rick Perry, she was elected three times to the Texas House of Representatives from District 121 in Bexar County.

A native of San Antonio, Texas, Jones graduated from Alamo Heights High School. In 1978, she earned a degree in journalism from the University of Texas at Austin.

Jones and her husband, William C. Jones, IV, are the parents of two children.

In 2000, then politically unknown, Jones was first elected to represent District 121 in the Texas House of Representatives. In the Republican primary election, she ousted Representative Bill Siebert, who had held the seat since 1993. Siebert's work as a lobbyist was denounced by the San Antonio Express-News, which urged voters to "clean house and dump [Siebert], the local GOP's biggest embarrassment."
