#District2Proud

Last year, following the conclusion of the 2020 census, the City conducted its 10-year redistricting process. Members of the community were appointed by the Mayor or their Councilmember to form a redistricting advisory committee. This committee was responsible for redrawing district boundaries after the 2020 Census revealed a change in population. Our District was represented by Dwayne Robinson and Devorah Frost.

During this process the committee met 15 times and recommended their final plan to City Council in June 2022. As a result, District 2 was unchanged.

Why does redistricting matter?

Census data helps the federal government make decisions about public services that benefit and impact our community on a daily basis such as healthcare, education, public safety and transportation.

HEALTHCARE ROADS/ TRANSPORTATION EDUCATION

Programs such as CHIP, Medicaid, and WIC are funded according to census data. In addition, hospital use census data to identify needs, plan for future locations, and more!

San Antonio’s 25 Head Start centers, the school lunch program, special education, and student financial aid programs and grants for our schools are funded based on census data.

Funding allocated through federal and state programs supports highway and road construction, as well as local and state-wide transit systems like VIA.
