Bexar County Judge Peter Sakai and the top contender for his job, former San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, will face off in a debate next month.<\/p>\n

The Democratic primary debate between the two rivals will take place at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 10, at Stable Hall, 307 Pearl Parkway. The event is being put on by the San Antonio Report, the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce and Tech Bloc.<\/p>\n

Tickets, now available on the Chamber\u2019s website<\/a>, are free for those who register in advance.<\/p>\n

\u200bIncumbent Sakai, who\u2019s held the county\u2019s top office since 2023, is running on a platform of regional growth, making the local justice system more efficient and closing the digital divide, according to his campaign website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Nirenberg, who was term-limited out of the mayor\u2019s seat last year, is focused on improving public safety<\/a>, creating more economic opportunity and forging stronger relationships with San Antonio\u2019s suburbs.<\/p>\n

The winner of the March 3 Democratic primary will take on Republican Patrick Von Dohlen, a thrice-failed District 9 City Council candidate who currently runs the conservative San Antonio Family Association PAC.<\/p>\n
