GREG BROCKHOUSE

Here is what San Antonio voters can expect on the May 6 general election ballot packed with city council candidates.

While long perceived as a moderate and a disciplined political operator, DeBerry has emerged as a wild card in the campaign for Bexar County judge.

Opinion: Unfortunately, the melodrama dominating the closing weeks of the race has detracted from real issues in Bexar County.

Opinion: Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff's decision to end his run has sparked one of the most interesting and unpredictable races in memory.

Opinion: An unusual aspect of San Antonio's city elections is that Proposition B drew 1,318 more votes than the mayoral race.

Mayor Ron Nirenberg won a third term Saturday night, handing a resounding defeat to former District 6 councilman Greg Brockhouse, who just two years ago forced a narrow runoff with the incumbent mayor. Things were drastically different this election cycle due to the pandemic, which limited door-to-door campaigning and gave Nirenberg a near-constant media presence. Also damaging to Brockhouse, Nirenberg declined to engage in a head-to-head debate, making it hard for the cash-strapped challenger to get his message out. As in 2019, Brockhouse ran a populist campaign, arguing that he was better prepared to generate economic opportunity for the city. “Ron was smart to say, ‘I’m not giving you a platform,'” said Juan Sepúlveda, a political science professor at Trinity University.

Opinion: Ron Nirenberg enters his third term as mayor with a mandate to finish leading the city out of the pandemic.

Express-News Columnist Gilbert Garcia says to prepare for a mayoral rematch in San Antonio. Former Councilman Greg Brockhouse plans a second attempt at unseating Mayor Ron Nirenberg, after losing the 2019 mayoral runoff by only 2.2 percentage points. But Garcia says some crucial elements will be different this time around. Most San Antonians probably remember that a December 2009 incident in which Brokhouses' wife, Annalisa, alleged that he assaulted her came to light during the last campaign. She insisted that her husband had not committed assault and attributed her 2009 allegation to postpartum depression.

SAN ANTONIO – A former rival of Mayor Ron Nirenberg says he is stepping up to rally opposition against two San Antonio sales tax proposals on the November ballot. He also denied that wading into the sales tax fight is a way to set up another campaign to challenge Nirenberg in 2021, though he believes his mayoral campaign resonated with voters. The proposals he’s opposing, championed by Nirenberg and VIA Metropolitan Transit officials, revolve around new uses for a 1/8 cent portion sales tax. Since the proposals would use the same portion of the sales tax at different times, there would be no change to the 8.25% sales tax rate San Antonio shoppers currently pay -- something to which Nirenberg and VIA officials have repeatedly pointed. The campaigns supporting both sales tax measures provided reactions to Brockhouse’s plans to rally opposition.
