Pablos (R), Jones (D) exchange jabs during fiery San Antonio mayoral debate at Stable Hall

Former Under Secretary of the Air Force Gina Ortiz Jones and one-time Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos jabbed at each other during a fiery mayoral debate at Monday night at the Pearl's Stable Hall.

Jones accused Pablos, a Republican, of being "[Gov. Greg] Abbott's puppet" and supporting mass deportations. She also blamed him for sky-high electrical prices during Winter Storm Uri.

Meanwhile, Pablos painted Jones, a Democrat, as a Washington, D.C. "carpetbagger." Further, he questioned whether she used the "Ortiz" middle name for political gain and insinuated she doesn't even live in San Antonio.

The debate, moderated by San Antonio Report editor-in-chief Leigh Munsil and city hall writer Andrea Drusch, was hosted in collaboration with the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce.
