Bexar County Commissioner Rebeca Clay-Flores, an incumbent Democrat, coasted to a comfortable victory Tuesday in her heated primary runoff against Amanda Gonzalez. Clay-Flores declared victory less than 10 minutes after the county posted early voting returns, according to the Express-News.
Both Clay-Flores and rival Amanda Gonzalez railed against each other during election-night speeches. The incumbent made accusations of racial harassment.
During Clay-Flores' victory speech, she blamed her opponent and the Deputy Sheriff’s Association of Bexar County for racist"bullying and harassment,". The candidate, who's biracial, said her campaign received several anonymous calls in which people called her the N-word, the news site reports. In a statement issued to the San Antonio Report, the Deputy Sheriff’s Association said it condemns racism, adding that it made no reference to Clay-Flores' racial identity as it campaigned for Gonzalez.
