I was proud to join The Mariachi Connection in celebrating 30 years of sharing San Antonio’s rich musical heritage.

What began with founder Josie Benavides selling instrument strings out of her car has grown into a business headquartered on the Westside serving mariachi musicians and folklórico dancers across the country.

Congratulations to Josie and the entire Mariachi Connection family on this incredible milestone. Thank you for preserving musical and cultural traditions and investing in the next generation of musicians through scholarships for local students.

A pleasure to welcome Mayor Khymer Olaso of Zamboanga City, Philippines to San Antonio. The Philippines’ 6th largest city with 1.1 million residents, I appreciated discussing our mutual challenges and opportunities—from AI, to flood infrastructure, to civic engagement.

Here in Military City USA, we also appreciate that the Philippines is one of just 19 countries designated a major-non NATO ally, a designation that comes with economic and military privileges and demonstrates our deep respect for the friendship for the countries to which it is extended.

Maraming Salamat for the visit, Mayor.

This weekend at the Bravery Brunch, we celebrated women across Texas who are making a difference in their communities through civic engagement and leadership. From immigration assistance to public education, and every topic in between, these women are putting in the hard work to improve their communities.

On the heels of finalizing the budget, I was proud to share how the civic engagement of young women (and men) in our community resulted in $500K being allotted in FY27 and FY28 for reproductive healthcare.

Thank you to the PoliChic Engagement Fund for bringing us together and recognizing the women whose dedication continues to open doors for others. Congratulations to this year’s honorees!

Earlier today, I sent a letter to Gov. Abbott requesting he dedicate resources to address the backlog of 210,000 Medicaid applications at the state level. We’re facing an affordability crisis, and Medicaid is a critical resource for our most vulnerable neighbors.

Yesterday, I voted against the proposed budget and included property tax increase.

For months, I have worked to find additional sources of revenue to lessen the burden on our General Fund. The reviews I asked for and my proposal for modest spending reductions showed we had a real opportunity to help ourselves before raising property taxes.
We owed it to our neighbors to make the tough cuts, and unfortunately, this budget shows we punted.

With what’s left in this budget, our neighbors are left wondering if this tax increase was necessary, or whether we can definitively say it’s the lowest it could be. I think the answer to both questions is no.

I look forward to the conversations we’ll have soon to hopefully capitalize on the opportunities we left on the table this year.

THANK YOU to those who advocated for our budget to include funding for reproductive healthcare. After hearing from our neighbors on this issue at the first public hearing, I reached out to City staff to ask if we could use the Medicaid 1115 Waiver funds on reproductive healthcare. Sure enough, we could, and now it’s in the budget. Never stop asking for what you deserve.

Honored to celebrate the U.S. Air Force’s 79th Birthday this week at City Hall! 🇺🇸

As a proud Air Force veteran and now Mayor of Military City USA, I know our City takes great pride in serving as the Gateway to the Air Force. Today, we celebrate our Airmen, past and present, and the families who stand beside them.

We can save $3.4 million in the General Fund by paying for certain programs with Ready to Work monies. On top of that, I recommend increasing funding for these programs from Ready to Work to the tune of $10.5 million per year. Let’s invest in people TODAY.

If you agree, call your Council member and encourage them to support these amendments.
