The Texas Organizing Project PAC (TOP PAC) has officially endorsed Gina Ortiz Jones in the upcoming runoff election for San Antonio mayor.
Dr. Doshie Piper, TOP Board Co-President, said the group is backing Ortiz Jones because of her record and commitment to the city’s working families.
“At TOP, we organize to improve the lives of working Texas families each and every day. We know that WHO is in office is critical to our ability to achieve our vision for racial and economic justice,” said Piper. “Our elected officials have the power to pass policies that either lift us up or set us back. So every election is important, and getting out the vote is crucial to ensuring that our elected officials are accountable to US.”
Piper added,
That’s why TOP is ready to fight for and lift up Gina Ortiz Jones, a proven community leader, in this pivotal San Antonio mayoral runoff.
Elizabeth Davila, a local TOP member, also voiced her support:
San Antonians deserve a mayor who will stand side by side with us and respect the rights of ALL communities — no matter our age, race, income level, or which ZIP Code we’re from.
Davila continued, “We need a mayor who will put a stop to injustices and push for humane solutions to issues in our neighborhoods. Gina Ortiz Jones understands what matters to our city’s working families, and she is committed to championing our priorities — from protecting our rights, to making housing and childcare more affordable, to fighting for good-paying jobs with benefits.”
