San Antonio is buzzing with energy as candidates prepare for the 2025 mayoral election.
San Antonio is gearing up for an exciting mayoral election on May 3, 2025, with 11 candidates officially filed to run. Current Mayor Ron Nirenberg is stepping down due to term limits, paving the way for newcomers and local figures, including Beto Altamirano, Gina Ortiz Jones, and Rolando Pablos. With significant funding required for effective campaigning and upcoming changes in political structure, this election is set to be pivotal for San Antonio’s future.
As San Antonio gears up for a fantastic election, one thing is certain: the race for the next mayor is going to be thrilling! The big day is set for May 3, 2025, and with current Mayor Ron Nirenberg wrapping up his final term due to term limits, all eyes are on the new candidates stepping up to the plate.
So far, we have a lively group of 11 candidates who have officially filed to run for the open position. With the February 14 filing deadline drawing closer, it’s anticipated that even more hopefuls might throw their hats into the ring. Among the candidates that stand out are three key figures who have attracted considerable attention: Beto Altamirano, Gina Ortiz Jones, and Rolando Pablos. Each candidate brings a unique background to the table, making this race even more captivating!
Let’s break it down:
With the ongoing shift in political structure including reforms like changing term lengths from two to four years and increased salaries for city council positions, this election is shaping up to be a major pivot point for San Antonio’s political landscape. As candidates gear up to make their voices heard, campaign consultant Kelton Morgan estimates that they will need a minimum of $500,000 just to reach the runoff stage, with a competitive edge requiring as much as $1.5 million overall. Now that’s a lot of dough!
It’s not just the newcomers vying for the position! The ballot will also include some well-known local figures. Among them are City Council members Manny Peláez, Melissa Cabello Havrda, and Adriana Rocha Garcia. Former District 10 Councilman Clayton Perry is also making a comeback to the political arena. With a mix of established leaders and fresh faces, San Antonio voters have plenty to think about when it comes time to cast their ballots!
As the campaign trail heats up, let’s not forget the crucial deadlines. The window for candidates to officially file to run opened on January 14, and they have until February 14 to get their campaign treasurers in line. This means engaging with voters and shaping their platforms will be in full swing as the city prepares for what is expected to be the first mayoral race without an incumbent since 2009.
San Antonio, mark your calendars and prepare to get involved! It’s going to be a rollercoaster of a race, and your vote will play a big role in the future of this great city!
