In an election when San Antonio voters didn’t appear eager for change, reelecting their mayor and rejecting police reform, three members of the City Council nonetheless failed to gain enough votes to avoid runoffs.
The council members who did not win a majority of the vote and therefore must fight for reelection in a June 5 runoff are District 1 Councilman Roberto Treviño, District 2 Councilwoman Jada Andrews-Sullivan and District 9 Councilman John Courage.

Jacque Callanen, the elections administrator for Bexar County, says Saturday’s local elections have stimulated more inquiries about one subject than she can recall in 38 years of working the polls.
City council and school board races are officially nonpartisan. But more than ever, voters want to know the candidates’ party affiliations and why those aren’t listed on the ballot.
“It’s just part of the national narrative,” Callanen said. “People want to know who is Democrat or Republican. I think it’s the residual effect of the 2020 presidential election.”
