After winning primary in a landslide, Garza is certain to win reelection
with a 33% lead over Sylestine, according to unofficial results posted by the Travis County Clerk’s Office. The result represents a commanding victory for the progressive D.A., who has been the target of right-wing attacks since emerging as a serious threat to prior D.A.in 2020.
But Garza has now replicated 2020’s resounding victory – in a less favorable election environment, no less – which he said signals broad support for those policies that have drawn the ire of high-powered Republicans, including lawmakers whoto force D.A.s to prosecute abortion and anti-LGBT cases. “Our movement is stronger even now than when we started,” Garza told supporters from the stage at Hotel Vegas, about two hours after polls closed and it was clear he had fended off Sylestine.
It is possible the extreme messages turned off some voters. Garza not only did well in East Austin, where his base of support lives, but even in most of Central and large parts of West Austin, where Sylestine’s financial support centered.
