The mother of a 10-year-old girl killed during the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, has announced her bid for mayor of the city in a special election this November.
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.
“A stagnant leadership led to the events that unfolded on May 24, 2022. The aftermath has fractured our community. I hope to bridge the gap and move our community in a positive direction,” Mata-Rubio told HuffPost.
If elected, she’d be the first woman to hold the seat, and the third Hispanic resident.
As part of an announcement she tweeted Thursday, Mata-Rubio took a moment to remember her daughter.
“I grieve for the woman you would have become and all the difference you would have made in this world. I grieve for the woman I was when you were still here. But, one part of me still exist, I am still your mom. I will honor your life with action."
