Former San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg has officially announced a run for Bexar County Judge. He will challenge incumbent Peter Sakai in the primary next year.
“I don’t think that that office is performing the way it should. It’s been reactionary to major issues. And frankly, we need strong leadership,” Nirenberg told the San Antonio Report.
Nirenberg was term limited out and Gina Ortiz Jones became Mayor after a runoff in June. The former Mayor had flirted with the idea of running for Senate as well.
