Councilman John Courage was the first to announce his bid to replace outgoing San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg in the May 2025 election.
District 9 Councilman John Courage , who was the first to announce his mayoral candidacy, is dropping out of the 2025 race to replace outgoing Mayor Ron Nirenberg , according to sources familiar with his decision. Courage, 73, announced his mayoral bid in late January, almost a year before the candidate filing period for the May 3, 2025, election opens.
Courage was first elected to the North Side’s District 9, the most conservative council district, in a 2017 upset victory. He was an underdog in that race, with a track record of failed campaigns for state and federal Democratic offices. The one-time progressive, who is now viewed as a moderate Democrat, fended off challenges from far-right candidates in subsequent elections by focusing on constituent services and nonpartisan issues. Courage won his bid for a fourth term with 62% of the vote.
