City Council District 1

This is what’s possible when a community comes together to advocate for park improvements. 🐶

A special thank you to the Beacon Hill Area Neighborhood Association, Parks & Recreation Department, Public Works Department, and residents, especially Jerry Lockey, for helping bring the new Beacon Hill Dog Park to life. Now officially open, the space is ready for neighborhood dogs to run, play, and make new friends! 🐾

Funded through the voter-approved bond program, this project demonstrates how residents with a vision for their neighborhood can work together to create meaningful public spaces. The Beacon Hill Dog Park provides a dedicated place for dogs to run and play while giving neighbors another opportunity to connect, gather, and strengthen community ties.

School's out for summer and teachers deserve fun too! ☀️

The San Antonio Zoo, in partnership with H-E-B, is offering free admission for teachers through June 30. Eligible teachers with a valid school ID/badge can receive a free standard admission ticket for themselves and discounted tickets for up to four guests joining them. 🦁🦜🐯🐒

More information is available on sazoo.org. Have a great summer, teachers!

Today, I was honored to stand with members of our LGBTQIA+ community to celebrate the Pride flag being flown at City Hall. It is a symbol of visibility, inclusion, and our ongoing commitment to ensuring everyone can live authentically and with dignity. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Since being elected, we've established the Pride Cultural Heritage District, installed the new trans flag sidewalks, and just filed the CCR for a memorial designation for transgender trailblazer Erika Andrews. These are meaningful steps toward recognizing, celebrating, and preserving our community's history and contributions.

Be on the lookout for a mural survey coming your way. We want your input on the public art that reflects our shared story.

Happy Pride Month! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤

Thank you to SA Youth for inviting me to visit and see the many ways this nonprofit is supporting young adults as they overcome barriers to earning their diploma. It was inspiring to learn more about the impact your programs are making in the lives of young people and families who need that support most. As someone who deeply believes in the power of education, I was impressed with the support they provide students through the 4-month program and the safe space they create for their students.

A big thank you to the Solid Waste Management Department for their quick response and dedication to keeping our neighborhoods clean. 👏

After a constituent shared concerns about ongoing trash issues on W. Wildwood, our team member Allison notified SWMD of the issue. Crews stepped in and got the area cleaned up right away. Neighbors were grateful to see the immediate action and care shown to the community.

Thank you to the SWMD for always being willing to go above and beyond for our residents. 💪

Join us for a special community celebration for the new Beacon Hill Dog Park! Come out with your pups, meet fellow pet lovers, and help us officially open a space designed for play, connection, and community.
