SAN ANTONIO — State Representative Ina Minjarez announced she is running for Bexar County Judge.
This comes after Judge Nelson Wolff said he would not be seeking re-election.
Minjarez says she decided to run after speaking with community members and supporters. In a news release, she said she wants to focuz on public safety, economic growth, housing and tax relief.
"I have fought for our everyday neighbors—working families, small businesses, and resilient seniors. I want to continue this fight. I want to ensure that every citizen is heard. I want to address the needs of our entire community. I know the best place for me to lead the fight is in Bexar County Commissioners Court," Minjarez said in the news release.
The San Antonio Express-News reports longtime Judge Peter Sakai is also running for Bexar County Judge.
