District 1
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.
Treviño has been a critic of SAPD’s response to the city’s positions on addressing the unhoused population in San Antonio, as well as its posture on the Alamo Plaza redevelopment. He was removed from the city’s planning commission over his rigid support of removing the Cenotaph monument from the Plaza grounds.
Hosted by ABC7 s Marc Brown, the panel included:
Dr. Kendrick Davis, chief research officer, USC Race & Equity Center
Dr. Sylvia Gates Carlisle, director of practice management at UCR FP Residency
Keara Williams, English teacher, Augustus Hawkins High School, Los Angeles Unified School District
Rey Saldana, president and CEO, Communities in Schools
