>> Spriester Sessions: Getting personal with San Antonio mayoral candidate Rolando Pablos
Having interviewed Jones multiple times over the years, including during her previous congressional campaigns, this conversation feels different. Now, she stands as the frontrunner in the San Antonio mayoral race, and her insights are more personal than ever.
She talked about what she learned from her previous races and the biggest stereotype that has followed her — one she firmly disagrees with.
She is also ready for a “nasty” race against Rolando Pablos in the June 7 runoff election.
In her words, “San Antonio is worth fighting for.”
