San Antonio Makes History in 2025

A historic chapter is beginning for the Alamo City! Gina Ortiz Jones has officially won the race to become San Antonio’s next mayor — making her the city’s first LGBTQ mayor and bringing a new voice to the city’s leadership.

🇺🇸 From Military Service to City Hall

Gina Ortiz Jones is no stranger to service. A proud U.S. Air Force veteran and longtime public servant, she brings a unique perspective to San Antonio’s leadership, combining her military background with extensive experience in national security and government administration.

Her election reflects not only the city's growing diversity but also its reputation as a strong military community—home to Joint Base San Antonio, Lackland Air Force Base, Fort Sam Houston, and Randolph AFB.

🔑 What Her Leadership Could Mean for San Antonio

While her administration is just getting started, many are already watching how Ortiz Jones’ leadership may influence some key areas for San Antonio residents and businesses:

Economic Growth & Development: Continued efforts to attract new industries, tech companies, and corporate investment to San Antonio.
Infrastructure Improvements: Ongoing focus on citywide projects like road expansions, public transit upgrades, and urban planning to support the city’s rapid growth.
Military & Veteran Support: Policies and initiatives that strengthen San Antonio’s role as “Military City USA” while supporting active duty families and veterans alike.
Housing & Affordability: Potential programs aimed at addressing affordable housing, workforce housing, and managing rising property values across both urban and suburban neighborhoods.
Inclusivity & Representation: A historic milestone for San Antonio’s LGBTQ community and another sign of the city’s evolving cultural and social landscape.

🏡 Why Local Leadership Matters for Homeowners and Buyers

Changes at City Hall can often shape the local real estate market — from zoning policies and infrastructure investment to housing development incentives.

New infrastructure and business growth can drive property values upward in expanding neighborhoods.
Development projects may bring more housing inventory, which can help balance affordability as demand increases.
A business-friendly environment encourages job growth, which attracts new buyers and sustains homebuyer demand throughout the metro area.

Neighborhoods like Alamo Ranch, Stone Oak, Shavano Park, Cibolo, and Schertz may see continued demand as the city’s population grows under this new leadership.
