San Antonio mayor-elect Gina Ortiz Jones tells Axios she's not waiting to be sworn in to start tackling issues like a potential new Spurs arena, an expected budget deficit and the impact of Trump administration policies.

Jones, who served in the Biden administration, defeated Rolando Pablos, a former Texas secretary of state, in a high-profile, bitterly partisan contest.

Gina Ortiz Jones defeated Rolando Pablos to become the next mayor of San Antonio on Saturday night. The vote tally was 77,484 for Jones and 65,202 for Pablos. Pablos conceded in a speech shortly before the Bexar County Elections Department posted the final results.
