"The people of City Council District 9 on San Antonio's North Side deserve to make up their own minds about who should represent them in next May's city elections. But, win, lose or runoff, the candidacy of Elisa Chan is an immigrant story worth telling."

"City Councilman Louis Rowe is struggling over whether to run next year for the District 9 seat. While he's deciding, business-woman Elisa Chan is moving ahead. The co-owner of Unintech Consulting Engineers has been raising money and lining up support for her campaign for the North Side seat."

"Some City Hall insiders said Rowe had an extra incentive to push for a property tax cut larger than Sculley had proposed - to burnish his fiscal conservative credentials...he'll likely face Elisa Chan, co-owner of Unintech Consulting Engineers and former planning commissioner."

"Elisa Chan told CNP-News and a large number of supporters Tuesday night...she wants to represent the city's largest council district."
