TUESDAY on The Source District 1 will go to a runoff between longtime councilman Roberto Treviño and challenger Mario Bravo. This is Treviño s final eligible term. Treviño led by about 45% of the vote.
The election’s political issues were largely dwarfed by a deadly global pandemic and February’s deadly winter storm.
Two years ago, Councilman Treviño won outright over his challenger Justin Holley with a more than 40 percentage point lead.

Voters in San Antonio’s conservative strongholds rallied against a ballot proposition to deal a huge blow to the police union. Then, they turned around and gave Mayor Ron Nirenberg, who leans left, a third term.
Proposition B, the high-profile charter amendment that would have stripped the police union of its right to collectively bargain with the city over wages and other benefits, gathered the most support inside Loop 410. At the same time, voters on the outskirts of Bexar County generally opposed it, according to data from the Bexar County Elections Department.

Sitting in his classroom before a decorative wall of multicolored wallpaper, Jalen McKee-Rodriguez, 26, greets me through my computer screen. A proud alumnus of UTSA, the white T-shirt, emblazoned with a rainbow version of the Rowdy the Roadrunner logo, immediately captures my attention.
