Gina Ortiz Jones defeated Rolando Pablos to become the next mayor of San Antonio on Saturday night.
The vote tally was 77,484 for Jones and 65,202 for Pablos.
Pablos conceded in a speech shortly before the Bexar County Elections Department posted the final results.
"I am very thankful for the opportunity to be able to serve with everybody in mind," Jones said in her victory speech. "Y'all, we won tonight, we won tonight."
She added: "There's a lot going on at the federal level. There's a lot going on at the state level. But we here in San Antonio — deep in the heart of Texas — reminded folks what San Antonio stands for, didn't we? We reminded them that our city is about compassion, and it's about leading with everybody in mind."
