Election season is upon us again with only 72 days until the May 4, 2019, General Election. The Mayor and all members of City Council are up for re-election. We have a total of nine candidates running for Mayor, including incumbent Ron Nirenberg who is seeking a second term, and a total of 32 candidates across the 10 districts are running for City Council.
We know for sure that residents in District 4, District 2, and District 6 will have a new council members representing them at City Hall, as Councilman Rey Saldana (District 4) has termed out, Councilman Art Hall (District 2) is filling the vacancy of Councilman Cruz Shaw and Councilman Greg Brockhouse (District 6) is vacating his seat to run for Mayor.

While the Chamber does not endorse candidates, we understand the integral role our Mayor and members of City Council play in ensuring San Antonio maintains a business-friendly environment and a thriving economy. The Chamber will be sending out questionnaires to all candidates running for Mayor and City Council in the coming weeks and will publish those answers on our website. The purpose of the questionnaire is to inform our members about the candidates on the May 4 ballot and their positions on issues most important to the business community, including transportation, workforce development, economic development, affordable housing, regulation and taxes.
