SAN ANTONIO — The former mayor of San Antonio could be eyeing a new role in Bexar County.

Ron Nirenberg confirmed to KENS 5 he’s "considering" a run for judge.

But he says he won’t make a final decision until after the November election.

The move could set up a March Democratic primary showdown with current Judge Peter Sakai, who’s seeking a second term.

Sakai said on social media , "At one point Ron's bags were packed for DC. At one point he was running for Governor, then Senator. [...] It’s clear Ron never found the greener pastures he dreamed of.”

Sakai says he’s focused on job creation, public safety and helping working families while Nirenberg weighs his next move.
