Gina Ortiz Jones, who will be inaugurated as San Antonio’s new mayor next week, joined GMSA+ anchors Ernie Zuniga and Stephanie Serna to share her excitement and priorities for the city.

Jones tapped her campaign manager for the role, even though she had no experience in SA politics prior to moving here in February.

Mayor-elect Gina Ortiz Jones has tapped a fellow City Hall outsider — her campaign manager, Jordan Abelson — to serve as her chief of staff. It’s an unconventional hire for Jones, who will be the first mayor in two decades who has ascended to the city’s top seat without first serving on City Council.
