Rosie Castro appointed temporary District 7 council member
She will serve in the role until June when a newly elected representative will take over.
Castro was the lone finalist selected over three other candidates on Wednesday for a final interview Thursday. But the council meeting was more of a celebration than an interview — it included few questions as council members showered Castro with praise for her work throughout San Antonio’s history. “I really appreciate what the council has done, what everyone here — the District 7 folks — have done,” Castro said Wednesday after the council made her the lone finalist for the position. “I know there is still a lot of work to be done that Ana would like to see finished, and so I’m going to try to do as much as possible.”
District 7 has been without a representative since the beginning of February. Former Councilwoman Ana Sandoval stepped down at the end of January to pursue a job at University Health and give more attention to her family following the birth of her daughter and her father’s death.
