It's a great night for incumbents after early voter totals were released. Mayor Ron Nirenberg and nearly all sitting council members appear on their way to another term in office with one exception — Mario Bravo.
Mayor Ron Nirenberg likely will avoid a runoff with 60% of the early votes cast. His closes competitor was Christopher T. Schuchardt, who had 23%. The race drew several challengers, but the eight people running against Nirenberg didn't appear to be a serious threat to the incumbent, who had over $330,000 headed into the campaign season.Challenger Sukh Kaur will take incumbent Mario Bravo to a runoff. The early vote count had Kaur in the lead with 32%.
Bravo faced six challengers in his bid for a second term. He was one of two council members who received the rare vote of no confidence in November. Bravo received the vote for violating the city's anti-harassment and anti-violence standards when he berated District 7 Councilwoman Ana Sandoval in September. Soon after news of his behavior broke, a couple of challengers announced their candidacy, including Kaur and Roberts.
District 7 is one of two open seats, which typically draw a slew of contenders. Five people want to represent the district, which currently has temporary Councilwoman and Civil Rights activist Rosie Castro filling the seat. She was appointed after Sandoval resigned for a new, higher-paying job at University Health. Sandoval’s decision came after the November 2021 death of her father and the birth of her first daughter, who is now 8 months old.
District 10 is the second of two open seats, so unsurprisingly, it is a crowded race with seven candidates. Incumbent Clayton Perry, 67, decided not to run for a fourth and final term on the council in the wake of drunken driving and hit-and-run charges against him. Seven former District 10 councilmembers lined up in support of attorney Whyte, 42, who unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination in Texas House District 121 in 2018.
