Longtime Alamo Colleges trustee wins re-election

Longtime Alamo Colleges District trustee Gene Sprague won reelection in a competitive race against Nicolette M. Ardiente , who was making her political debut. Sprague had 54 percent of the votes in his race to represent District 6 on the far Northwest Side for another six-year term. He took 52 percent of the early in-person and mail-in ballots, and nearly 57 percent of Election Day votes cast Saturday.

He claimed credit for the successful funding that launched Northwest Vista College in 1995, a suburban campus that is now nearly tied in enrollment with San Antonio College, the largest in the district with almost 19,000 students. Ardiente, 34, is the community engagement manager with Asian Texans for Justice, a statewide nonprofit with a focus on civic engagement, youth and advocacy.
