Commissioner Rodriguez Announcement Display
Supporters gather at Site of New Southside County Satellite Office
to launch campaign. Bexar County Commissioner Sergio “Chico”
Rodriguez announced his plans to seek re-election to the Precinct 1 position.
Rodriguez is running for a third term and was first elected Commissioner in
2004. Joining Commissioner Rodriguez in front of the future home of the Bexar
County Southside Satellite Office, were a broad group of distinguished
neighborhood and business leaders along with elected officials including Bexar
County Judge Nelson Wolff and State Senator Leticia Van de Putte.
Rodriguez told supporters the completion of the satellite office
marks a commitment he made to voters when he first sought the Precinct 1
position, “From the time I first ran, my goal has been to make county
government more accessible and responsive to our community, especially those
with the greatest needs like children and seniors… This facility will put
important services within the reach of many who may not otherwise get
them.”
Commissioner Rodriguez also discussed initiatives he started to
help abused and special needs children as well as important health care
projects like the building of the new University Hospital System (UHS) Diabetes
Treatment Center in Precinct 1 and the expansion of the Downtown UHS Health
Center. “This type of screening, preventative care and life saving
treatment is vital to ensure that our community can live healthy, fulfilling
lives and part of my commitment to Precinct 1 voters that health care stays one
of our highest priorities on Commissioners Court,” stated Commissioner
Rodriguez.
With several important projects like the San Antonio River Mission
Reach underway for Precinct 1, Rodriguez added, “You expect honesty from your
public servants and as your county commissioner, I’ve done my best to represent
you in a way that you can be proud of and that makes your voice heard. As a
true Democrat, I will continue working to solve neighborhood problems and
standing up for those least able to speak for themselves.”
The Precinct 1 position takes in Bexar County’s south and
southwest side. Election Day for the primary election is March 6th,
2012 and early voting begins on February 21, 2012. For more information about
