Some heroes of the Texas Revolution were enslavers, a neglected piece of history that has helped stall a badly needed overhaul of the revered battle site.
A step in the right direction : Inside San Antonio s new homeless outreach program
The program, currently being tested by the city, aims to create services needed by those who don t have homes closer to where they live. Author: Alan Kozeluh Updated: 6:41 PM CDT May 7, 2021
San Antonio’s Department of Human Services is testing out a new homeless outreach program looking to bring essential services to where they live.
“Now we hold our street clinic on this side of town out of the field office, which is really luxurious for us to have a setup and stuff like this,” said Maria Turvin, sitting behind a folding table covered in portable meals and personal hygiene products just inside the garage door of the field office for San Antonio City Council District 1.
District 1
Longtime Councilman Roberto Treviño will go head-to-head with challenger Mario Bravo after the two were frontrunners in the six-candidate race. This term would be Treviño’s last eligible one as he has held the seat since 2014. Bravo previously campaigned for Bexar County Commissioner, but lost out to Paul Elizondo. In the May 1 election, Treviño led with 44.9 percent of the vote, while Bravo secured 33.6 percent.
District 2
Incumbent Jada Andrews-Sullivan will need to head to the runoff election to hold on to her seat. She secured 16.8 percent of all votes, while challenger Jalen McKee-Rodriguez pulled ahead with 26.4 percent. The two were leaders in the 12-candidate race. This would be Andrews-Sullivan’s second term. In 2019, the District 2 race also led to a runoff, in which Andrews-Sullivan came out over Keith Toney.
District 1
District 1 will go to a runoff between longtime councilman Roberto Treviño and challenger Mario Bravo. This is Treviño s final eligible term. Treviño led by about 45% of the vote.
The election’s political issues were largely dwarfed by a deadly global pandemic and February’s deadly winter storm.
Treviño has been a critic of SAPD’s response to the city’s positions on addressing the unhoused population in San Antonio, as well as its posture on the Alamo Plaza redevelopment. He was removed from the city’s planning commission over his rigid support of removing the Cenotaph monument from the Plaza grounds.
