The 26-year-old ran to represent the second district of the San Antonio City Council against incumbent Jada Andrew Sullivan who achieved 37 per cent of votes.
Speaking to KSAT news, the former high school math teacher expressed a hopeful outlook following the news of an election win. ”A lot of people said that District 2 wouldn’t be ready for a candidate like me.
Would District 2 be ready for a young, gay candidate? Is Texas ready for a young, gay Black man to be elected anywhere into any position?
And, so I think what we proved and what the community proved is that everyone deserves representation,” he told the news outlet.
