In what’s likely to be the last public polling before San Antonio’s unusually crowded mayoral race, UTSA’s Center for Public Opinion Research found two well-known candidates still leading the pack, but two other well-funded contenders were quickly making up ground. UTSA’s Center for Public Opinion Research surveyed 685 likely voters between April 7 and April 9, and the poll has a +/- 3.7% margin of error.

An opportunity to represent some of San Antonio’s fastest-growing territory in City Council District 6 has drawn eight candidates this year, including many with long resumes of public service and political experience. The district encompasses the city’s inner-to-far West Side and Councilwoman Melissa Cabello Havrda (D6), who has represented the district since 2019, is running for mayor this year instead of seeking reelection.

Four candidates running to replace longtime Councilwoman Adriana Rocha Garcia (D4) faced off at the Boeing Center at Tech Port Friday night for the San Antonio Report’s candidate debates. City Council District 4 encompasses the city’s Southwest side, where candidates largely agreed that issues like stray dogs and illegal dumping are more pronounced than in the rest of the city.

Bexar County property owners will soon receive their 2025 valuation notices, with the appraised value of residential properties rising an average of roughly 2.1% from the previous year. The Bexar Appraisal District called it a “modest” change, “reflecting a steady but subdued real estate market.”Valuations are intended to provide a point-in-time market value of a property so that taxes can be assessed on that amount.
