Bexar County judge candidate Peter Sakai leads the audience in a moment of prayer for the victims of the Uvalde mass shooting during his campaign watch party at Tony G's Soul Food Tuesday.Former family court Judge Peter Sakai held a commanding lead over state Rep. Ina Minjarez in their Democratic primary runoff for Bexar County judge Tuesday night based on early and absentee voting results.
The winner will face Republican Trish DeBerry in November in an election to replace retiring Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff, a Democrat who has occupied the seat since 2001. DeBerry previously represented Precinct 3 on the commissioners’ court, and won her party’s nomination outright in the March primary.
With election results coming in just hours after a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde left 18 children and three adults dead, Sakai had a subdued reaction to his sizable lead.
