New elections administrator at the helm of San Antonio mayoral election

SAN ANTONIO — In a little over a week, San Antonio will decide its new mayor for the first time in eight years.

While the focus may be on the candidates, behind the scenes in new elections administrator Michele Carew, who just started the job in March.

"We are 100% prepared," she said. "We have, of course, contingency plans in place should anything happen. But as of right now, elections are going smooth and all. You know, we have our boots on the ground. The first 45 days were spent finding ways to modernize the office, and so right now we're just going through the procurement process, trying to get things in place for this election."

While this is Carew's first election in Bexar County, she has experience overseeing elections in Hood County, where she was elections administrator until she resigned.
