Opinion: After more than 20 years in office, his successor — Democrat Peter Sakai or Republican Trish DeBerry — will have big shoes to fill.
Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff, center, is joined by wife Tracy Wolff and San Antonio Report co-founder Robert Rivard on stage at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts during CityFest on Wednesday.By my count, Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff is 29-2 with voters over an unprecedented political career that spans five decades and is unlikely to be equaled by any other public official in my lifetime.
I had the easy assignment and privilege of moderating an hourlong, on-stage conversation with Wolff at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts on Wednesday, the keynote event of the San Antonio Report’s fifth annual CityFest. A full house was there to listen and to give Wolff a standing ovation at the end. Tracy Wolff, also in attendance, received her own sustained applause in recognition of her high profile work alongside her husband.
The turnout was impressive given that the Northside and Hispanic chambers of commerce co-sponsored a Wednesday luncheon Weston Urban is said to be working on a plan to piece together enough acreage along San Pedro Creek for a new ballpark, and Wolff said another group that he did not name is attempting to do the same outside Loop 1604 near UTSA’s Main Campus.
That decision, no doubt, was hastened by the demands he shared with Mayor Ron Nirenberg managing the pandemic for two years, particularly as local efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus were thwarted by Gov. Greg Abbott and other state officials who opposed mandatory mask mandates and failed to aggressively promote the importance of vaccinations.
