Garcia: Former band director hopes to orchestrate upset in North Side council race
City Councilman John Courage faces a conservative challenger in Jarrett Lipman for the GOP-leaning District 9 seat.SAN ANTONIO — There’s always some element of personal sacrifice involved in launching a political campaign, but Jarrett Lipman’s sacrifices are bigger than most.
“When things shut down, our marching band was one of the only ones that continued,” Lipman said Tuesday. “We were able to show that we could handle a crisis and rise to the challenge. I felt like there was a lot of criticism and pushback of our school district and our campus from our public officials.
“The councilman tends to stay pretty quiet on areas that are controversial,” Lipman said. “I know he doesn’t like to rock the boat. I felt like we would have benefited if he had stood up for us and come out to visit. I just feel like not taking a position is also taking a position.”
