Frank Ritchie, a political newcomer, easily beat longtime City Councilwoman Nina Woolard in the May 6 election — 76% to 24%.
Ritchie is a mechanic who owns an auto repair shop in Boerne. He declined KSAT’s request for a campaign photo.Ritchie ran on the platform of managing growth in the fast-growing city. He didn’t fundraise because he didn’t want to owe anyone anything.
In a March 9 post on his public Facebook page, Ritchie said he was choosing not to campaign in a normal fashion. “I choose to put my hat in the ring for mayor for a lot of reasons but I also notice that no one else stepped up at all besides my opponent Nina and I wish her the best,” Ritchie posted. “As for my qualifications, in all honesty I probably am not qualified if there is such a thing to be qualified for politics. I am honest , hard working and believe in being transparent and holding the office with integrity and passion for a town I love dearly.
