Three women vie for District 1 Council seat


L-R: kat swift, Mary Alice Cisneros (no photo available for Monreal)

The District 1 Council seat will be won by a woman no matter who wins the election, since only women have filed for the seat once held by Henry Cisneros, Roger Perez, Roger Flores Sr. and Roger Flores Jr. Maria Berriozabal is the only other woman to occupy the District 1 seat.

First on the ballot is kat swift who co-chairs the Green Party of Texas and insists on placing her name on the ballot with no capitals in her name. She is folowed by Mary Alice Cisneros, whose husband and brother both served in the position. Last on the ballot is R. Esmaralda Monreal de Mercado, a school teacher.
