Happy Friday District 2!

Greetings District 2! We are excited to provide you with updates and share resources with you. It is that time of the year, budget season! We are developing the Fiscal Year 2024 budget and we ask that you provide your feedback on what the City needs to prioritize in the next fiscal year. Your input is very important to us, your voice matters throughout this process. If you cannot fill out the online survey, you can call 311 and share your feedback.

Each year, as part of the work of the City’s MLK Commission, the scholarship committee raises funds to distribute scholarships to graduating seniors throughout San Antonio. We had the honor of celebrating this year’s recipients at City Council A session and recognized them for their hard work and diligence. A huge congratulations to the amazing scholars!

We look forward to new opportunities as we continue to collaborate with you, as always it is an honor and privilege to serve as your Councilman.
