Reader's Picks in SA Current, Mayor Hardberger

Person of the Year (voted by SA Current Reader's Picks)

1. Phil Hardberger, Mayor of San Antonio

2. Ciro Rodriguez, Representative, U.S. District 23

3. Kinky Friedman, Personality and gubernatorial candidate

We love that you love politicians and would-be politicos, too, readers. (You might’ve picked fallen Idol Haley Scarnato, after all) Hardberger’s full-steam-ahead approach to downtown revitalization earned him a win over Ciro Rodriguez, who successfully challenged incumbent Henry Bonilla after a district makeover that was tailor-gerrymandered for the loser.
