Kimberly Mata-Rubio, a 34-year-old ad executive for the Uvalde Leader News, is a lifelong Uvalde resident, according to the paper, which first reported on her announcement. Mata-Rubio is a mother of six, including 10-year-old Alexandria “Lexi” Rubio, who was among the 19 students and two teachers killed in the May 2022 shooting. The current Uvalde Mayor, Don McLaughlin, has held his seat since 2014. But he announced this week that he will resign and pursue a seat in the Texas House of Representatives. I grieve for the woman you would have become and all the difference you would have made in this world.
