New Gallery At The Archives Revisits Nelson Wolff's Political Career

A new gallery at the Bexar County Archives Building showcases memorabilia from the remarkable, half-century political career of San Antonio native Nelson Wolff.

First elected to the Texas House at age 29, Wolff went on to win a seat in the state Senate, serve on the San Antonio City Council and as mayor, and eventually spend more than two decades as Bexar County Judge.

Throughout that time, Wolff collected press clippings, campaign material and other souvenirs from a bygone era in Texas politics: A Democrat-controlled Legislature ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment, Texas lawmakers honoring labor organizer Cesar Chavez, and a young freshman lawmaker taking the state capitol by storm.
