Mayoral candidates address military community, 4-13


L-R: Mayoral Forum @ San Antonio Public Library, downtown

Texas Blue Star Voices to hold Town Hall

San Antonio’s military community will have a chance to hear and question candidates in the city’s Mayoral race, Monday, April 13th, 7 p.m. at the Central Library Auditorium downtown. Candidates former Councilman Julian Castro, Councilwoman Diane Cibrian, PR consultant Trish DeBerry-Mejia and Councilwoman Sheila McNeil have all been invited to address members of one of the largest military communities in the country.


Texas Blue Star Voices, event host, says the event is an ideal example of their purpose for existing…giving the military community its own voice with each other, within the community and with those who make decisions that affect them. They define the military community as active duty members and their families, veterans, retirees, national guard, reserves and anyone who supports those in the uniformed services.

San Antonio has developed a viable economy in large part from its stable military installations which bring a sizable population to the area. Since the late nineteenth century, San Antonio has become a favorite retirement spot and has continued as a favored military retirement location. The military community figures prominently in San Antonio’s past and future.

Texas Blue Star Voices encourages all military community members to attend this Town Hall to let their voices be heard by the next San Antonio mayor and help them decide who that should be.

The Central Library is located at 600 Soledad, San Antonio, TX 78205, (210) 207-2500. There is 1 hour free parking at Central Library Garage with validated ticket. For more information contact TexasBlueStarVoices@gmail.com
