The race for the District 1 City Council seat pits a talented incumbent against a talented challenger and both are willing to rock the boat.
We recommend the challenger,
Mario Bravo, as an opportunity to add an energetic fresh voice and policy-rich perspective to the district, which includes most of downtown, the Alamo, Hemisfair Park and some of Brackenridge Park.
Councilman Roberto Treviño was appointed to the seat in 2014 and has been elected three times since, including in 2019, when despite facing eight challengers, he avoided a runoff by garnering nearly 60 percent of the vote. He faces five challengers this year.
