The liberal San Antonio media has branded SA councilman and candidate for mayor Greg Brockhouse with some negative stories and reports, while they favor Mayor Ron Nirenberg. Some of the news media call Brockhouse "a puppet of the City’s two most powerful unions" the police and the firefighters. They also keep repeating the allegation that Brockhouse was charged or involved in a case of domestic violence.
The police and firefighters’ associations have a long and established relationship with Brockhouse. On the other, Mayor Ron Nirenberg has sided with former city manager Sheryl Sculley who had a very antagonistic relationship with the police and firefighters. It makes sense the public safety associations would support Brockhouse.
