I have some exciting news. We are one step closer to victory. Last night, we received the most votes and earned a spot in the RUN-OFF ELECTION! 🧵⤵️

Happy #Pride Month!

San Antonio is a compassionate city. I am proud to be an ally for the our LGBTQIA+ Friends and will continue to fight for better reforms with them.

Let's make sure we put the pressure on the next City Council and get an Equality Act PASSED. #Pride2021

Congrats to the Southside's @MaddySkye on her Columbia Journalism School Grant!

She'll be doing research into how we became the most economically segregated city in the US.

But don't worry, she'll still be in SA keeping us in the know about the news, Spurs, to mangonadas!

Some notes app-worthy ✨personal news ✨

Columbia’s Ira A. Lipman Center awarded 4 special grants in addition to its annual fellowship program. I’m the proud and honored recipient of one of them!

(I’m still with MySA, I’ll just be busier! 😊)

@GregAbbott_TX and Texas Republicans are pushing through bills that strip away your rights.

Women deserve a right to say what happens to their body, whenever they choose. This bill represents the government overreach the GOP pretends to be against. https://t.co/CD7hKMah4b

SAPOA knew what it was doing by misleading the public with false narratives and scare tactics.

It's a real disservice that they chose to cover up how they tried to win. San Antonio deserves better than this.

JUST IN: The San Antonio police union quietly spent $600K to defeat Prop B -- far more than previously thought

The massive spending flew under the radar because the union didn’t report the activity under its own name https://t.co/hXweRkvEWU @ExpressNews

[Mark Vargas @mark4sa]

I am so grateful for everyone's support and messages throughout this campaign and after the election.

While we did not get the result we wanted, we led the way with progressive policy that our District needs. This is only the beginning and I will keep fighting.

Thank you,

[Mark Vargas @mark4sa]

automatic voter registration is infrastructure

[Mark Vargas @mark4sa]

Thanks @TexasYouthPAC! District 3 has a large and active youth populace that is tired of the same politics in San Antonio.

My campaign is part of a new generation of representation that will bring the big and bold action we need. Excited to empower more youth here in D3!

[TX Youth PAC @TexasYouthPAC]

Another amazing progressive from San Antonio is @mark4sa running to represent San Antonio’s 3rd district. As an alumni of the SA Youth Commission, Mark deeply understands that young people should be included in all levels of government. We are proud to support him. (6/9)

[TX Youth PAC @TexasYouthPAC]

Local elections are some of the most important opportunities we have to impact our communities. On May 1, cities across Texas will hold municipal elections, and we are so excited to announce our first round of local endorsements for these incredible City Council candidates. (1/9)
