San Antonio’s City Council will soon look a lot different.
Four newcomers will sit on the council after Saturday’s runoffs for five council seats nearly half of the city’s chief governing body. The council will have its first openly gay member, while two incumbents were ousted in an upset.
District 1
In the fight to represent the city’s urban core, challenger Mario Bravo ousted District 1 Councilman Roberto Treviño and denied the third-term councilman a fourth and final term.
