With the election set for May 3, 2023, and a crowded field of 27 candidates, this endorsement could significantly impact Altamirano’s chances. Altamirano, a co-founder of Irys Technologies, aims to bring fresh ideas focusing on job creation, public safety, and infrastructure, positioning himself as a modern leader for the city’s future.
San Antonio is buzzing with excitement as the 2023 mayoral race heats up! One of the most notable developments came when former Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff threw his support behind tech entrepreneur Alberto “Beto” Altamirano. With the election set for May 3, 2023, and 27 candidates vying for the top spot, this endorsement adds considerable weight to Altamirano’s campaign.
At just 35 years old, Altamirano stands at the forefront of a crowded field of candidates. As a co-founder of Irys Technologies, a tech firm that developed the mobile app for San Antonio’s 311 system in 2017, he brings a fresh perspective to the table. Last year, his company raked in about $7.5 million in revenue, with a whopping 80% coming from government contracts. His ability to blend technology with community needs positions him as a modern leader, reminiscent of Henry Cisneros, who made significant waves back in 1981.
Wolff, who has an extensive political resume including roles as a state representative, state senator, and even a mayor from 1991 to 1995, took the time to emphasize Altamirano’s energy and expertise as key attributes that set him apart. While he served as county judge for an impressive 21 years until stepping down two years ago, Wolff believes that the city is ready for a visionary leader who can guide San Antonio into the future.
Initially, there were some concerns regarding how effectively Altamirano could communicate with voters, but he has demonstrated significant improvement. His campaign has finely tuned its messaging, breaking down complex policies into digestible priorities that resonate with constituents.
The race is shaping up to be competitive, with several other notable candidates including current city council members Adriana Rocha Garcia, Melissa Cabello Havrda, Manny Peláez, and John Courage. Former councilman Clayton Perry, along with non-city hall contenders like Rolando Pablos and Gina Ortiz Jones, round out the mix. Each candidate brings a unique perspective on the city’s pressing issues, making this election particularly exciting.
Altamirano is not just sitting back and allowing the endorsements to carry him. His campaign priorities include job creation, ensuring public safety, and enhancing infrastructure. With plans to focus on community-oriented policing, he aims to improve coordination with local associations and speed up response times for safety issues. His experience running the city’s 311 department has provided him with valuable insights into the challenges that municipalities face.
As part of his broader vision, he is looking to activate projects like Project Marvel, which aims to revitalize downtown San Antonio, bringing energy and economic growth to the area. He even envisions collaborations with the San Antonio Spurs organization to initiate projects that benefit both the economy and the city’s vibrant culture.
Interestingly, recent studies have shown that crime rates can impact how favorable municipalities appear to businesses, affecting overall economic development. This makes Altamirano’s prioritization of safety all the more crucial as he positions himself as a candidate capable of tackling the city’s multifaceted challenges.
With substantial fundraising efforts and a proactive campaign strategy, Altamirano is clearly a force to be reckoned with. The growth of outsider candidates in city politics seems to be gaining momentum, and here in San Antonio, it looks like 2023 could be a year of unexpected changes. Wolff’s endorsement is just one piece of a thrilling puzzle as the community gears up for a new chapter.
The election on May 3 is poised to usher in a four-year term framework for San Antonio, marking a significant turning point in the city’s leadership history. Will Alberto Altamirano be the one leading the charge? Only time will tell!
