Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff says he won't run for reelection in 2022
Nelson Wolff (D) confirmed Wednesday what he’d hinted at since 2018: His current term as Bexar County judge will be his last.
He told hundreds of audience members at the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce’s “State of the County” event that he saw an article about an “aging senior exec” accompanied with a photo of that person being wheeled out with a potted plant in his lap.
“I showed that picture to [wife Tracy] and said, ‘I don’t want to go that way,” he said. “I want to walk out with my head held high and go when I think I’m at the top of my game. So I am going to serve out my term. I have one year, three months to go. But I will not run for reelection.”
Wolff, 80, is serving his fifth term as county judge; he was appointed to the seat in 2001 and has been elected five times to the office. His announcement on Wednesday was met with a standing ovation at the chamber luncheon; several speakers professed their appreciation for Wolff’s leadership and work with the business community.
