As Nirenberg(D) -Sakai (D) dust settles, former mayor bests incumbent for Bexar County judge
Democratic primary challenger Ron Nirenberg pulled off a massive upset Tuesday, knocking off incumbent Bexar County Judge Peter Sakai.
With all 272 vote centers reporting at 1:37 a.m., Nirenberg leads Sakai, 62.2% to 37.8% in the Democratic primary.
Earlier on Tuesday night as polls closed, a crowd of Sakai supporters crammed into La Fonda in Alamo Heights, enjoying a buffet, mariachi music and words of encouragement from Sakai and his family awaiting the results.
The once energetic crowd grew quiet amid gasps at the first wave of results that came across the TV, which showed his challenger in a comfortable lead.
