The Edwards Aquifer is the City of San Antonio's most precious resource. It's continued protection, maintenance, and upkeep continues to remain a vital part of my platform. I have worked closely with the mayor's office to ensure that it remains a top priority for the city. This is why we fought to establish a new and reliable funding path to continue the protection of the Aquifer, our primary source of drinking water. I am also proud to say I have taken a strong stance and said NO to any SAWS rate increases, especially in the face of this global pandemic. |

Though property taxes in the city have remained at the same rate for several decades in San Antonio, rising property values and cost of living have made affordable housing for our seniors a vital issue. That's why our office authored and passed the City's first Homestead Tax Exemption saving San Antonio Homeowner's, and seniors, more than $12 million since 2019 on their property taxes.
We also secured an additional $1.2 million in funding to build the new D9 Senior Center breaking ground in early 2021, the first of its kind in the district. |
