Michael B. Thomas / Special to St. Louis Public Radio Originally published on April 7, 2021 3:20 pm Tishaura Jones’ election as St. Louis Mayor on Tuesday night was the epitome of perseverance. After falling painfully short in her 2017 bid for mayor, Jones roared back in 2020 with a resounding reelection as treasurer. And with her more than 2,000- vote win Tuesday, she will be the first Black woman to become mayor. Jones will face a raft of big challenges and a host of unprecedented opportunities. One of the reasons Jones was seen as the frontrunner in Tuesday’s election revolved around geography. She had historic appeal in largely Black wards around the city and a number of high-voting white or integrated wards. The big question was whether that coalition would hold if Alderwoman Cara Spencer got big margins in southwestern and central corridor wards.
