There was a large field of candidates vying to represent San Antonio s largest City Council district, which spans 84 square miles spread out on the South and Southeast sides of the San Antonio.
Twelve people ran for the District 3 seat and two will now go head-to-head in the June runoff Phyllis Viagran and Tomás Uresti.
The district s current representative Rebecca Viagran is not among them, as she has reached the four-term maximum on City Council and cannot run again. But her sister Phyllis received about 22% of the May primary vote, and Uresti followed with nearly 15%.
Viagran has worked as a community outreach coordinator and trainer for Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) since being furloughed from Visit San Antonio in June 2020. She has served on the boards of both Brooks Gives Back and The Rape Crisis Center in San Antonio.
