San Antonio swore in a new batch of city leaders on Wednesday — one that’s both younger and more partisan than the members they replace. Gina Ortiz Jones, a 44-year-old former Air Force Under Secretary who ran for Congress twice as a Democrat, took the dais for the first time amid cheers from supporters sporting “Madame Mayor” T-shirts — a nod to the optimism Democrats were feeling last year about their prospects of a first female U.S. president.

Democrat Kristian Carranza, who raised big money but lost narrowly to state Rep. John Lujan (R-San Antonio) in 2024, will run again in 2026. Carranza announced her plans on Wednesday and held a campaign launch party on the South Side with the City Council’s progressives at Aquaduck Beer Garden.

Going into Saturday’s runoffs, conservatives who controlled just one seat on the 10-member City Council were excited about their prospects in several Northside runoffs — as well as a possible mayor with ties to state GOP leaders.
