- Dear Neighbor,
The upcoming Runoff Election for San Antonio Mayor is just around the corner and we will have the chance to make history–to elect a woman to lead our city government. Mayor Lila Cockrell alone has accomplished this feat in our city's history. It is truly a momentous time for San Antonio as we get to choose between two strong, qualified candidates, each who have years of experience, keen understanding of our city, and a boundless passion to make our home an even better place to live, work and raise our families.
I am especially proud to live in a city that provides an opportunity for women to grow, work, lead, and serve. The 40 year gap between Mayor Lila Cockrell's first oath of office and this year's upcoming Runoff Election is an indication that we still need to do more to encourage the participation of women in the leadership roles throughout our community, from education to business to public service.
Regardless of which candidate you support for mayor, please make a pledge to vote in the Runoff Election so we can make another kind of history – one of record turnout!
Early Voting starts on Monday, June 1 and runs until Tuesday, June 9. Election Day is Saturday, June 13. Click HERE for a listing of Early Voting sites.
And remember as you step up to the voting machine or mark your mail-in ballot for San Antonio Mayor in this Runoff Election, the names Ivy Taylor and Leticia Van de Putte will be listed and you will experience history in the making. Use the power of your vote to usher in our next Madam Mayor and encourage your friends and family to do the same!
Yours in service,
Rebecca Viagran
