In most elections, one-term incumbent Bravo's 41%-59% loss to political newcomer Sukh Kaur would have come as a surprise. But this race was different. SanAntonio SATX SanAntonioTX Texas SanAntonioPolitics
Councilman Mario Bravo speaks to District 1 residents, business owners and workers during a contentious meeting last year on the St. Mary’s Strip.
"I've gotta tell you, I thought Sukh would win, but that's a pretty big margin of victory," San Antonio political strategist Christian Archer said of the outcome."The way that she won and the domination of an incumbent is pretty impressive. Incumbents don't lose in San Antonio; it's very rare." At his watch party, Bravo, an environmental activist prior to his time on the dais, told reporters he wished the media had done more extensive coverage of his successes, including efforts to reform CPS Energy and his leadership of a working group that used money from the city's Tree Mitigation Fund to plant more vegetation in District 1.
Although San Antonio Parking Enforcement Manager Martin Ruiz attended the meeting, he didn't share much detail about the proposed recommendations that the council would be voting on because, at that point, the city manager hadn't yet seen the Pape-Dawson study. That led some business owners to speculate that Bravo himself was hiding what the engineering firm recommended.
