Courage is a lifelong Democrat who has somehow won four straight elections in a Republican district.
John Courage is a lifelong Democrat who has managed to win four terms in San Antonio's most conservative district.In the final days of San Antonio’s recent municipal election campaign, there were some anxious rumblings on the city’s North Side.
District 9 has long been the most conservative district in San Antonio. It’s the only council district that Beto O’Rourke failed to win in both his 2018 challenge to Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and his 2022 attempt to unseat Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. Courage, 72, said Thursday that he worried about the potential impact of the Prop A vote on his candidacy.
Courage outlasted his nine council opponents in 2017 through dogged work and an emphasis on nonpartisan issues.His go-to line was this simple question: “Is there a Republican or Democratic way of filling in a pothole?”
