The national Democratic Fields of Change PAC has raised $138,000 for her and spent $160,000 in the runoff so far.

San Antonio’s mayoral runoff candidates— Gina Ortiz Jones and Rolando Pablos—faced off for a debate on Texas Public Radio’s live call-in program “The Source” on Monday May 26, 2025, presenting competing visions for the future of the Alamo City.

District 8 runoff candidates are Ivalis Meza Gonzalez and Paula McGee.

Election Day is Tuesday, May 28. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
