Former District Judge Peter Sakai looked poised to seize the Democratic nomination for Bexar County judge in Tuesday night's primary runoff, pulling ahead early against in-party rival State Rep. Ina Minjarez.
In the March primary, Sakai garnered 41% of the vote to Minjarez's 31% in a field of four hopefuls. Because neither Minjarez nor Sakai drew more than 50% of the vote, they both advanced to the runoff. In a statement supplied from Sakai at his campaign's watch party at Tony G’s Soul Food, the former judge said the tragic school shooting in Uvalde had eclipsed the victory.
The primary and runoff have been widely watched. Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff’s decision to not seek re-election means that, come November, voters will be electing a new county leader for the first time in 21 years.
