With 95% of precincts reporting, Bexar County election results show Austin with 66% compared to 33% for Cynthia Brehm. That’s a difference of about 13,000 votes.
Earlier this year, Brehm was pressured to resign by top Texas Republicans, including Gov. Greg Abbott, after spreading a George Floyd conspiracy theory. She refused.
Austin, a real-estate appraiser, said Brehm’s post showed a “basic disregard of facts” and that her “actions are very hurtful and denigrates the memory of George Floyd and amplifies the pain and suffering that the country is going through.” He has been endorsed by some of the top Republicans calling for Brehm’s resignation.
