Thousands of San Antonio residents have a new City Council representative.
Committee members John Clamp and Carlton Soules confer during a Monday night redistricting advisory committee meeting at the Big Brothers, Big Sisters of South Texas meeting room.After six months of long meetings, contentious disagreements and a few reversals, San Antonio City Council approvedFor the first time, they didn’t draw the new districts themselves.
Nearly 40,000 residents will be affected, but District 2 on the East Side and District 3 on the South Side saw no change.The new map will be in effect for the May 2023 city elections. Impacted residents can work with both their current and new council representatives until that time to transition any constituent services, and then they’ll vote in their new City Council district next year.
The task at hand is to balance population and stay in line with the federal Voting Rights Act, which prevents the city from diluting the vote of certain racial or ethnic communities.
