“It’s going to take someone that can really bring a collaborative spirit, and I feel like I can do that,” Rocha Garcia told the San Antonio Report. “I’m excited and ready to get to work listening to what people are looking for in a mayor,” she said. “I have clearly defined ideas where I would like San Antonio to go, but I need everybody’s input.”The change would go into effect after the 2025 municipal election, but Rocha Garcia would have to run for an abbreviated term, while other candidates running for the seat would be seeking a full four years.
