Bexar County District Attorney candidate Jason Wolff has publicly skewered his uncle, former County Judge Nelson Wolff, in a social media post, accusing the elder Wolff of refusing to endorse his campaign.
In a TikTok clip posted Sunday, Jason Wolff — a former Bexar County assistant DA — said he plans to file his candidate paperwork this week. However, his campaign will be without the endorsement of his politically prominent uncle.
“My heart was broken this morning — still breaking — but now my eyes are wide open,” the attorney said in the video. “See, I now know that if you’re not a political insider, you’re on the outside looking in, and it doesn’t matter if you’re family or not.”
Nelson Wolff was unavailable for comment Monday to confirm whether he’d endorsed any candidate in the race.
In the three-minute-long clip, Jason Wolff alleges his uncle doesn’t approve of his messaging — which so far has included calling current DA Joe Gonzales a “pussy” — and instead plans to back State Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, who’s running for the office as a Democrat.
“The difference between you and me, Uncle Sonny, is I’m willing to tell the public what I think, and I’m willing to put it out there, while you hide and play the game,” Jason Wolff said in the TikTok.
Martinez Fischer last week said he’d launched an exploratory committee to weigh a run but hasn’t yet committed. Martinez Fischer and Nelson Wolff were both present at former Mayor Ron Nirenberg’s campaign launch for Bexar County Judge over the weekend.
Meanwhile, criminal defense attorney Shannon Locke also has expressed interest in running for Bexar DA as a Democrat.
Stay tuned. It can only get wackier.
