Mauricio Sanchez completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2025. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Sanchez's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- San Antonio falls behind every other metropolitan Texas city when it comes to wages and career opportunities. I am the only candidate who understands how to leverage the economic cycle to revitalize our local economic landscape in our city. Furthermore, year after year, our local universities have fallen behind in instilling partnerships with the private sector in providing jobs to our graduating workforce. As mayor, I will infuse the conversation and create roundtables with a more diversified private sector to ensure our graduates ready to work are met with opportunity no matter what their industry focus may be.
- Our senior citizens have been met with rising costs that are increasingly difficult to keep up with. Many invested in their homes, only to realize the value hasn’t appreciated as much as they had expected, leaving them unable to tap into their equity to supplement retirement income. The reality is that, over the course of their working lives, most San Antonio seniors lived paycheck to paycheck and were unable to build sufficient retirement savings. These facts point to a very real economic problem. As city leaders, we must recognize this income gap and create solutions that help our seniors keep up with the rising cost of living in San Antonio.
- Stray and abandoned animals have created a tragic environment in our city. My solutions call for stricter laws surrounding abandonment and owner responsibility while creating a system that incentivizes more animal rescues and nonprofits to seek abandoned and stray animals ensuring a safer, more humane environment for our furry friends.
