Cabello Havrda was first elected to City Council in 2019. She is likely the last City Council member to enter the race to replace Mayor Ron Nirenberg.
Councilwoman Melissa Cabello Havrda made official Wednesday what’s long been known: she’s running to be San Antonio ’s next mayor. Cabello Havrda said she chose to run for council because she felt that many people’s concerns were not being addressed.
Former congressional candidate enters already stacked race for San Antonio mayor “I have been underestimated, like so many San Antonians, my whole life,' she said. “So being part of that community and know those voices aren’t always heard is what drove me to run for office in the first place, but it’s definitely what has propelled me forward into running for mayor.
Health problems played role in Courage’s decision to leave mayor’s race Cabello Havrda is an attorney who specializes in federal disability cases. She worked as a special assistant to Mayor Ed Garza, who served from 2001 to 2005. She chairs the council’s Public Safety Committee, which oversees policies and programs related to the police and fire departments and Animal Care Services.
Mayor, City Council will see pay rise — again — months into 2025 term In early August, days before the council was to vote on which city charter amendments to place on the Nov. 5 ballot, she drew a rebuke from Nirenberg over her unsuccessful push to put forth two amendments that city staff and the Charter Review Commission had not vetted. One of those amendments would have either allowed the council to hire the city attorney or give it the authority to hire its own attorney.
