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. Statewide and national political action committees are funneling significant funds into the race — and the candidates who aren’t on the receiving end of that outside money are scrambling and self-funding to keep up.

We’re quickly approaching San Antonio’s first open mayoral election in 16 years, and the stakes for local voters couldn’t be higher. A whopping 27 candidates threw their hats in the ring to replace outgoing Mayor Ron Nirenberg, and 59 candidates are running for 10 City Council seats, all of which are up for grabs on Saturday, May 3, smack-dab in the middle of San Antonio’s annual Fiesta celebration.

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.
