How did San Antonio elect someone like that? I thought they were more liberal than Houston... It was shocking, but her opponent was Leticia Van de Putte. I think that it was a combination of the black vote, Catholics and Republicans in San Antonio that gave Taylor the victory since they associated Van de Putte with Wendy Davis in the anti-abortion campaign in the last gubernatorial election.
