If you find yourself longing for City Council representatives who model themselves after the onstage persona of a young Andrew Dice Clay, Trevor Whitney is the answer to your wishes.

Whitney, who is challenging West Side incumbent Ana Sandoval in District 7, has assembled quite an imposing portfolio of obnoxiousness for a first-time candidate with only two months on the campaign trail.

Whitney, the 33-year-old regional director of government relations for Blue Duck Scooters, pulled up in his truck to Maury Maverick, Jr. Library on Monday morning, the first day of early voting for council races.

In the parking lot, Whitney approached Mario Bravo, an environmental activist who also happens to be Sandoval’s boyfriend. The two men argued about Bravo’s contention that Whitney had removed Sandoval campaign signs around the district.

According to two witnesses who observed the argument, Whitney addressed Bravo with an obscenity and urged him, in explicit terms, to perform a sexual act.

Grace Hernandez, a poll-worker who was at Maverick Library that morning, said she’d never encountered anything like it in her three decades of political activity.

“I’m 67 years old. I’m a grandma. I don’t appreciate somebody talking like that,” Hernandez said. “The parking lot was full of mothers and children who were coming to the library.”

Sandra Flores Ogogor went to Maverick Library that morning to vote. On her way back to the parking lot after casting her ballot, she said she heard Whitney repeatedly shout out the epithets described by Hernandez.

“I had my 3-year-old daughter with me. He (Whitney) saw me and he just didn’t care. He just kept going,” Ogogor said. “It wasn’t just his language. He was really in (Bravo’s) space. I was worried that he was going to hit him.

“It was really embarrassing and horrible. I can’t believe that he’s a candidate.”

Whitney denied Tuesday that he hurled any profanities at Bravo.

“The statements, specifically the quotes that you just said, are not true,” Whitney told me. He blamed the accusations on a “coordinated campaign” against him by Sandoval supporters.

Whitney also raised eyebrows with his conduct at an April 6 candidate forum, called San Antonio Night Live, hosted by MOVE Texas.

At one point, Sandoval and Whitney were asked whether they will “fight to strengthen San Antonio’s Climate Action and Adaptation Plan by ensuring all coal plants close by 2025.”

Sandoval stepped over to the left side of the stage to indicate that her answer was “yes.” While she cupped her hand to her ear and playfully encouraged the crowd to make some noise in favor of the proposed climate plan, Whitney simulated masturbation by gesturing with his right hand.

A minute later, when the candidates were asked if they would work to protect San Antonio’s paid sick leave ordinance, Whitney lifted his hand to his forehead and made the sign of an “L,” for “loser.”

Whitney acknowledged Tuesday that his masturbation gesture was a lapse in judgment, but blamed it on unspecified “racist heckling” from the crowd. No such heckling could be heard on the video of the forum.

“It’s kind of a routine thing in this campaign,” Whitney said. “Look, I get it, I’m a white guy running on the West Side.”

On April 8, Whitney called in to KTSA 550 AM, while host Sean Rima discussed allegations that New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had appropriated a fake Southern drawl to address a predominantly African American audience at the National Action Network convention.

Whitney told Rima that Sandoval is “San Antonio’s own AOC.” He added that during candidate forums Sandoval has been “speaking more Spanish than she ever has in her life.”

Keep in mind that Sandoval was born in Mexico and that Spanish was her first language. To this day, her parents are primarily Spanish speakers.

The character issues that have surfaced during Whitney’s council campaign apparently were on display during his short 2018 stint handling public relations in the city’s Economic Development Department.

In an October 25, 2018, Probationary Employee Performance Evaluation obtained by the Express-News, Whitney’s supervisor, Sarah Esserlieu, wrote this about him: “On multiple occasions, several tasks have not been done with the proper process or procedures, resulting in miscommunication and high-stress situations to scramble at the last minute.”

Tellingly, Esserlieu added: “Throughout this period, unprofessional outbursts have occurred, which has negatively impacted teamwork and the ability to work with other staff.”

In a September 24, 2018, letter to Whitney, Esserlieu wrote, “It is NEVER acceptable to shout in the office; it is not acceptable to use profanity; and it is especially not acceptable to shout profanity.”

The observers who witnessed Whitney in action on Monday at Maverick Library would wholeheartedly agree with that assessment.
