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. SanAntonio SATX SanAntonioTX BexarCounty Texas TexasPolitics 2022Elections Midterms2022
Trish DeBerry is running for Bexar County judge after spending less than a year representing Precinct 3 on Commissioners Court.
DeBerry's campaign said the slam was meant to show her opponent's unwillingness to fund bold county projects. However, local AAPI groups labeled it"racist" and"deplorable." Dr. No, the half-Chinese villain in the first James Bond movie, is widely perceived by contemporary critics as a racist caricature, they noted.
"I think sometimes on these campaigns, you end up in an echo chamber of advisors, and as the campaign moves, you get down these paths that are hard to come back from," said one observer close to DeBerry. "This is a dark money corporation, the likes of which we've never seen playing in politics here before that hides behind the curtain," DeBerry said."So, I'm pulling back the curtain, and I'm exposing the folks that are responsible for this."
The 18-year-old case she resurrected involved a young mother who lost custody of her infant daughter after testing positive for drugs. On the recommendation of caseworkers and others, Sakai — a long-serving and respected family court judge — ordered the pair reunited. The mother reportedly beat the girl, who later died.
Brockhouse denied that the Voter Education Foundation was secretive about its participants, pointing to the names listed in filings. Observers said it was apparent early on that Brockhouse — himself a scrappy political underdog — was playing a prominent role in DeBerry's campaign. The former councilman was reportedly present when she filed to run.Express-NewsPeople familiar with the campaign said close associates tried to talk DeBerry out of running, warning that she was giving up a seat she could continue to hold for years in exchange for a political pipedream.
In a phone survey conducted last November, likely Bexar County voters broke 53% to 40% in favor of giving the position to a Democrat, according to a copy of the poll obtained by the. Further, the report showed DeBerry's favorable name recognition lagging five of the seven other people then considered potential contenders in the race.
"Trish is a very analytical person," he said."She's a numbers- and data-driven consultant herself. We knew when we delivered our message and our polling that we would win the Bexar County judge's race, running away, because Peter doesn't have the skill set or knowledge to do the job.
Ultimately, Wolff rallied to her support, issuing a letter to Sheriff Javier Salazar urging him to publicly push back at"one of the ugliest and most blatant displays of sexism and personal attacks."Express-News Critics are less forgiving. One longtime political observer familiar with the campaign said the longshot nature of DeBerry's run may have given her no choice but to ally with Brockhouse. Just the same, his unsuccessful track record chasing the mayor's office should have been a warning sign.
