    The San Antonio Report’s much-lauded Voter Guide is a favorite among readers, a staple of our civic engagement efforts and a labor of love for our staff. Over the years, it’s grown and changed in many ways to better help San Antonians navigate confusing elections. Today, we couldn’t be prouder of this latest evolution: We’ve extended the 2025 Voter Guide farther than ever down the ballot to profile 38 school board candidates and three major bond elections voters will weigh in on May 3.

    There are 27 candidates on the ballot, from a true variety of political, social and economic backgrounds.

    When I lived in D.C., I measured my life in campaign cycles. This 2024 presidential election year, life looks a little different. Now I work with a team of local San Antonio Report journalists who cover politics, business and related issues in the same community where they also live and vote. True community journalism has skin in the game — these are our streets, our City Council chambers and our tax dollars, too.
