San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, most council incumbents cruise to easy victory in election

Voters in San Antonio's citywide election overwhelmingly reelected Mayor Ron Nirenberg for a fourth and final term and rewarded most incumbent council members with easy reelection. By the time of Saturday's finally tally, Nirenberg had secured nearly 61% of votes in a contest where he faced little competition from experienced and well-funded opponents. "A lot of people asked me, 'Why did you run this campaign so hard?'" Nirenberg told supporters at his victory party at the Friendly Spot in Southtown.
