SAN ANTONIO (AP) — San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro will stay on the job for at least another two years after sweeping to an easy victory over six challengers.
Castro collected two-thirds of the vote Saturday, which was less than the more than 80 percent he received two years ago but was nonetheless a strong show of support by voters.
Castro, whose twin brother is Democratic U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, also of San Antonio, was first elected in 2009 to what’s officially a nonpartisan office.
