Kimberly Mata-Rubio, the mother of Lexi Rubio, one of the victims of the Uvalde school shooting, is running to be the mayor of the Texas city, she announced
Mata-Rubio is looking to succeed Mayor Don McLaughlin, who is stepping down after nearly 10 years leading the city, about 80 miles west of San Antonio, to pursue a state House seat, according to The Texas Tribune. A special election for the remainder of McLaughlin’s term will take place November 7, the city announced Wednesday.
Since the mass shooting, officials have given shifting and contradicting narratives about the police response to the incident and many questions remain over why it took more than an hour from the gunman entering the school to him being killed by law enforcement. Mata-Rubio has demanded answers from officials and has been a vocal proponent of gun control, including calling for a ban on assault rifles.
