Hays County judge wins ugly race for Democratic primary, ‘now it’s on to November’
with all precincts reporting in Hays County. Becerra will face the Republican nominee, Precinct 2 Commissioner Mark Jones, in the November general election. Jones ran unopposed in the Republican primary.
“I get to say now, ‘Look at my track record.’ Never mind my personal attacks, let’s talk policy,” Becerra said to a group of supporters in a Facebook video posted to his campaign page Tuesday night. “So now it’s on to November, and we’re going to need you all the more in November.” Burleson, a local business owner, did not immediately respond to the Express-News’ request for comment.The race between Becerra and Burleson got messy starting in mid-January following an altercation at a Martin Luther King Jr. memorial event between Becerra’s wife, Monica Becerra, and Burleson’s mother and grandmother. Monica Becerra alleged that after the altercation, Brandon Burleson hit her, causing a sprained ligament that sent her to the emergency room.
Burleson’s lawyers later filed two civil lawsuits against Becerra and members of his family. One alleges slander and false statements made by Becerra, his family and friends made on social media. The other alleges that Becerra’s wife caused “severe emotional distress” to Burleson’s 88-year-old grandmother at the MLK celebration. Burleson’s family is seeking more than $1.2 million in damages from the Becerra camp.
