Andrea Drusch and Xochilt Garcia won the 2A Star Online Package of the Year award for our newsroom\u2019s 2025 city election Voter Guide.<\/p>\n

The guide helped voters make sense of San Antonio\u2019s first open mayoral election in 16 years, where a whopping 27 candidates threw their hats in the ring to replace the outgoing mayor, plus 59 candidates ran for 10 City Council seats, all of which were up for grabs on Saturday, May 3 \u2014 smack-dab in the middle of San Antonio\u2019s annual Fiesta celebration. <\/p>\n

At the same time, a number of Bexar County municipalities held their own elections, plus bond and school board elections in several districts. As part of its 2025 election coverage, the San Antonio Report hosted nine debates in 44 days, journalistically rigorous examinations of the candidates seeking to lead the city on the dais.<\/p>\n
