This past Saturday, was Election Day in San Antonio. Residents hit the polls to cast their votes for the Mayoral and City Council election as well as three very important bond elections, all of which were proudly supported by the Chamber.
Voters overwhelmingly approved all six propositions within the City of San Antonio 2017 Bond program. The $850 million bond is the largest in the city’s history and will address priority infrastructure needs and improve quality of life for all residents, without imposing a tax increase. Voters also approved a $450 million bond for the Alamo Colleges District (ACD) and a $135 million bond for the Alamo Heights Independent School District.
We applaud all who volunteered their time to advocate and educate the community on the impact these bonds will have on San Antonio.
Several city council races, including the race for mayor are set for a runoff election June 10. You can learn more about this election on our website or check out the TheVotingApp. The Chamber encourages everyone to go out and vote.
Early voting for the run-off elections is May 30 through June 6. If you have not registered to vote, you can still do so. Deadline for registration is tomorrow, May 11. Visit the Bexar County elections site for more information.
