On May 12, 2007, the city of San Antonio, Texas, held an election to choose who would serve as Mayor of San Antonio for a 2-year term to expire in 2009. Incumbent mayor Phil Hardberger won over 77 percent of the vote, securing re-election to a second and final 2-year term. (Term limits were relaxed from two 2-year terms to four 2-year terms starting with the 2009 election; however, such relief does not apply to those who have already been elected to an office in which the two-term limit applies.) [1] Under Texas law, all municipal elections are nonpartisan.
