SAN ANTONIO – With less than a month before the May 1 election, a KSAT analysis of campaign finance records shows that the incumbents running for reelection, including the mayor and San Antonio’s City Council members, have more funds at their disposal than their challengers.
With several crowded races on the ballot more than 80 candidates are running for 11 seats and hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions and expenditures, some of the races might be too close to call on election night and could be headed to overtime in the form of a runoff election.
The board is set: More than 80 candidates running for San Antonio mayor and City Council

After Friday’s deadline for filing, city records showed 81 people are running for a spot on the City Council in a race defined by the human and economic toll inflicted on the city by COVID-19 as well as a reckoning over the power of the San Antonio Police union in the wake of a public demand for law enforcement reform.
