This is an excellent result and shows the continuing unpopularity of the Republican agenda.
Greg Abbot and his disgusting minions went after the mayoral race in San Antonio with everything they had and they lost big.
They love wheelchair Mussolini up in my neck of the woods, but it San Antonio
well not so much.

Air Force veteran Gina Ortiz Jones wins runoff race for San Antonio mayor
Jones, who served in the Biden administration, defeated Rolando Pablos, a former Texas secretary of state, in a high-profile, bitterly partisan contest.
San Antonios next mayor will be Gina Ortiz Jones, a 44-year-old West Side native who rose from John Jay High School to the top ranks of the U.S. military on an ROTC scholarship.
Jones defeated Rolando Pablos, a close ally of Texas GOP leaders, with 54% of the vote on Saturday night in a high-profile, bitterly partisan runoff.
SNIP---
At Pablos watch party, he said Jones overwhelming victory surprised him. The conservative Northside votes he was counting on to carry him didnt wind up materializing.

Glad to hear that Abbott's ally got an a$$ whooping. May this trend grow and spread.
