Incumbent José Garza won the Democratic nomination for Travis County district attorney in the higher-profile local race of the March 5 primary election. Garza received just over two-thirds of the vote in his race against opponent Jeremy Sylestine. The context Garza will face Republican Daniel Betts in the November general election. First elected in 2020, Garza said he’s focused on reducing gun violence and providing justice for sexual assault survivors. Sylestine, a defense attorney and former prosecutor in the DA’s office, ran a campaign that promised to restore trust in the DA’s office by resolving a backlog of unin- dicted cases and prosecuting domestic violence and child abuse cases.
