Here in Texas the Secretary of State position is appointed by the governor, which is given out every couple years to one of Abbotts cronies who wants a title, so yes Pablos would be a republican. I'm glad to see all the money Jones spent running for congress paid off for...something.
San Antonio Mayor. It's a runoff between Gina Ortiz Jones and Rolando Pablos.

Former Air Force Under Secretary Gina Ortiz Jones 27.2%
Former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos: 16.61%
Tech entrepreneur Beto Altamirano 12.05%
Councilwoman Adriana Rocha Garcia (D4) 9.89%
Councilman Manny Pelaez (D8) 7.31%
Councilwoman Melissa Cabello Havrda (D6) 6.66%
Councilman John Courage (D9) 5.56%
Former Councilman Clayton Perry: 5.51%
The runoff may turn into a D v. R affair. A conservative PAC with ties to Greg Abbott has been spending to help Pablos.
