Five primary races to watch in San Antonio and Bexar County

Bria Woods / San Antonio Report

Sakai is a longtime jurist who supervised the county’s Children’s Court, a specialty court that hears abuse and neglect cases. He has emphasized his familiarity with the workings of the county government and wants to focus on economic development, infrastructure and workforce development. The Laredo-based Cuellar’s 28th Congressional District stretches north to encompass parts of the east and southeast portions of Bexar County. He’s serving his ninth term, having fended off Cisneros’ primary challenge in 2020 by less than 4 percentage points. But theon his home has shaken up the race, caused Cuellar to lie low and given Cisneros, an immigration attorney, a fundraising boost.

The open seat in a Democrat-leaning district has attracted four candidates, including state Rep. Eddie Rodriguez, former Austin City Councilman Greg Casar and former San Antonio City Councilwoman Rebecca Viagran. The best-funded candidates, Casar and Rodriguez, have done battle by mailer, with Rodriguez tying Casar’s progressive agenda as a council member to Austin’s homelessness problem and defunding the police. In turn, Casar has doubled down on his progressive bona fides.
