The San Antonio councilwoman who was secretly recorded spewing anti-gay rhetoric has chosen to resign her seat on the city council:
In a letter to Mayor Julián Castro and council members, Chan said she was proud of San Antonio and “what we have accomplished.” She reflected on her five years on council, saying: “I have done my best to represent the conservative values of these fine people. The people of this district take an active role in deciding policy, giving their input, volunteering their time and listening to the views of their neighbors,” she wrote.
The date was chosen out of an abundance of caution, said Murphy, adding that Chan wanted to make sure there was ample time to pick her successor. She'll resign before council votes on a proposed rate increase for CPS Energy, scheduled for Nov. 7.
Chan, 47, said she is resigning, per law, to challenge incumbent tea party Republican Donna Campbell to represent Senate District 25.
