Denise Gutierrez-Homer knows she's more of an outsider than the two leading candidates in the San Antonio mayoral race, but says she can use that to her advantage.

Here are the key races we’re watching on May 1.

Mayor Ron Nirenberg and challengers Greg Brockhouse and Denise Gutierrez-Homer, all on the ballot for the May 1 election, will be answering journalists’ and residents’ questions during the on-air broadcast of KSAT 12′s 6 p.m. newscast (at 6:30 p.m.) and then extending online from 7 p.m. for about 30 more minutes.

The San Antonio Report, KSAT 12, and Bexar Facts will host and televise a three-day mayoral forum with Mayor Ron Nirenberg and challengers Greg Brockhouse and Denise Gutierrez-Homer answering journalists’ and residents’ questions on separate nights. San Antonio Report Editor Robert Rivard and KSAT Anchor Steve Spriester, who will serve as moderators of the forums, called the mayor this week to try to convince him to take part in a debate. AdThe event will take place after the results from the latest Bexar Facts/KSAT/San Antonio Report poll are released. “Right now [Nirenberg] does have an opportunity every night to impress the public with his [daily COVID] report,” she said.

We took your questions to the candidates for answers.
