District 1 San Antonio City Councilwoman-elect Sukh Kaur speaks to supporters during a Sunday, May 28, rally at the Paper Tiger.
In an interview Sunday, the day after her 18-point victory over one-term incumbent Mario Bravo, Kaur said that relationship was severely strained under her predecessor. Kaur, an education consultant and political novice, forced runoff with Bravo in the May citywide election. She seized victory in last weekend's runoff by winning 59% of the vote to Bravo's 41%.
Bravo's chances were damaged after Mayor Ron Nirenberg reprimanded for lobbing personal attacks at then-Councilwoman Ana Sandoval, his former girlfriend, over a budget issue, according to Archer. However, Archer said the councilman's failure to address problems such as delayed construction on St. Mary's and tension between nightlife spots and neighbors may have been a larger liability.
