Progressive San Antonio mayor wins third term.
Update 8:11 p.m. - Mayoral candidate Greg Brockhouse, who trailed to San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg by a large margin on Saturday after early votes were tallied, conceded in a statement on Saturday.
Nirenberg is poised to serve his third term as mayor.
According to the early vote returns, Brockhouse had 31% of the vote, while Nirenberg had 63% of the vote.
Brockhouse, who narrowly lost to Nirenberg in a 2019 runoff, congratulated the mayor and his wife Erika Prosper “as they continue their service to San Antonio.”
“I have always said you don’t need to be mayor to make a change in your community,” Brockhouse wrote in a statement. “You only have to care. We have cared and gave it our best shot.”
Nirenberg was pleased with the results so far, noting the high turnout in this citywide election.
“It’s very clear (civic engagement) is moving in the right direction in our city,” Nirenberg said.
