Patrick Von Dohlen is asking voters to examine Ron Nirenberg’s policy record as they consider the next Bexar County Judge. In a Facebook update accompanying the eighth graphic in his policy series, Patrick focuses on stay-at-home and mask policies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A debate about policy and leadership
The campaign graphic criticizes Nirenberg’s 2020 restrictions, alleging that they went beyond state recommendations. That characterization is the campaign’s position.
In the caption, Patrick says the series is intended to scrutinize policy decisions rather than make personal attacks. He argues that a record in local government provides a basis for evaluating a candidate’s ability to lead Bexar County.
Accountability, efficiency, and transparency
Patrick connects his criticism to concerns about county debt and its fiscal outlook. His post argues that residents should expect accountability, efficiency, and transparency from their elected leaders.
“We must seek to ELECT people who understand that we have a duty to serve the common good.”

Share your experience respectfully
Patrick invites residents to comment on how these policies affected them, closing that invitation with a reminder: “PLEASE BE KIND!”
