Councilwoman Sukh Kaur fends off nine challengers to earn second term in District 1
Councilwoman Sukh Kaur, who faced one of toughest reelection races of any sitting council member this year, fended off nine challengers to win a second term in District 1.
She bested challenger Patty Gibbons with 65% to 35% in Saturday’s runoff.
Speaking to supporters Saturday night at Roundabout in Beacon Hill, Kaur nodded to how unusually personal the race became.
Critics used the open records process to pore through District 1 council staff’s emails and text messages, hired a private investigator to follow the councilwoman to a bar, and even dug up a sealed DWI record from 12 years ago, when Kaur was a 24-year-old teacher in Houston.
