Candidates for San Antonio City Council District 2 appeared in a live forum Sunday, April 25, hosted by the San Antonio Observer. You can watch the event in the player above.
The East Side district is currently occupied by one-term Councilwoman Jada Andrews-Sullivan, but 11 challengers are hoping to change that, including activist Pharoah Clark and Jalen McKee Rodriguez, who previously worked as Andrews-Sullivan’s director of communications.
The battle for District 2 is one of the 5 key races KSAT reporters are keeping a close eye on.
The San Antonio Observer allowed KSAT to livestream the forum in the interest of providing as many ways as possible for D2 residents to stay informed on the race.
According to their website, the San Antonio Observer is the “city’s only African American newspaper and the largest in South Texas.”

- Nneka “Miss Neka” Cleaver
