Cody Smith was elected as the next mayor of Uvalde, serving a one-year term in the city that has a population of a little more than 15,000. Smith is filling the former mayoral seat of Don McLaughlin, who vacated his position to run for a seat in the Texas House of Representatives. McLaughlin served as mayor since 2014.," to honor her daughter who was one of the 21 victims in the Robb Elementary school shooting last year and represent unheard voices in her community, among other initiatives.
As the official result was called, Mata-Rubio and Smith were both present outside the offices of the Uvalde Leader-News, a tradition for the town to gather as the newspaper tabulates the results on a whiteboard near the downtown plaza. Mata-Rubio and Smith embraced in a hug, as she and her family congratulated Smith on his newly-elected position.
