District 7 Councilwoman Ana Sandoval plans to start a new job at the end of the month, leaving City Council to appoint a replacement.
Sandoval told the Express-News that the experience with Bravo contributed to an overall challenging experience on the council. The two were placed on different committees after the incident.
“Some people handle it really well, the different pressures, the deals you have to make, the compromises and the battles,” she told the Express-News. “Some people are fine having those battles and then coming back the next day as though nothing happened. … I’m not one of those people.” Born in Monterrey, Mexico, Sandoval came to San Antonio with her family as a 1-year-old, graduating from Jefferson High School as its valedictorian. She went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a master’s degree in civil and environmental engineering from Stanford and a master’s degree in public health from Harvard University.
On City Council, she has focused on climate and air quality and pushed for infrastructure improvements in District 7.“We will miss her steadfast commitment to our local environment, equitable policies and the general wellbeing of San Antonio’s residents,” he said. “I think I speak for all San Antonians in wishing her and baby Isadora all the best in their next chapter. I am thankful that our community will continue to reap the benefits of her knowledge and experience at University Health.
Applications were submitted to the city clerk, candidates gave brief statements at a Wednesday meeting, and then the council selected three finalists for interviews at the following Thursday meeting. Council’s chosen candidate was sworn in at the same meeting.
