 the fact that this race was so popular why do you think the voter turnout was so poor what what is going on in district one? I think Saturdays in spring make it kind of difficult. There are a lot of other things going on in town today. Saturday I think just is a strange day that people on a Tuesday or whatever people are out already they're working they can stop by before or after work but Saturday it's really easy to just say yeah I don't need to and I hope that people weren't apathetic because they figure there's going to be a runoff and so I vote because just let the initial vote decide it and then in the runoff they'll get more excited. Rene are you a district one voter? Yes and a business owner as well. Oh and a business owner so tell me Rene what did you think about the campaign? Well, crisis or just in general? Just in general I mean you can speak to somebody specific if you wish. I just I just hope that they continue revitalizing downtown, they continue cleaning it up, continue giving us maybe some breaks for small business owners since we do up hell and how can I say revitalize the neighborhood downtown especially off of Wakala 35. Is that where your business is located? So the mayor is doing a lot of work downtown do you feel that the district one office has not been supported in the past or are you looking for continued support? I think continued support so whoever gets into office I just hope that they continue that support and especially with the expansion of the block and revitalizing Broadway and just creating more opportunities for people to come downtown especially to live and work and socialize would be amazing. There are a lot of hot topic issues that are really on the lines of the neighborhood associations and the people in district one. An issue that comes up over and over and over is animal control and stray dogs in the neighborhoods and that is one that just doesn't stop. Every neighborhood association has a story about it that comes up over and over. And what about the mayor's SA 2020 vision? How do you see that affecting district one? Oh I think that's exciting for district one because I think most of that involves district one. District one is the cultural, the business, the center of the city in so many ways metaphorically and actually. I only had two elections on my ballot but I made sure to get out and vote early and I hope more people in San Antonio had so we definitely got to do a lot more work on voter turnout. Yeah the voter turnout was pretty dismal even in district one which had such a good race. What do you think we need to do to improve voter turnout? Yeah I think we need to do a lot more work on voter turnout and education, getting people more informed about the city elections, particularly these off-year elections. I think we need to do a much better job bringing people out. Do you think it made a difference that the mayor's race was that the mayor was so heavily favored and maybe people didn't come out for the mayor's race? I do think that the more attention that's drawn city-wide makes a bigger difference on turnout but I think just in general we just got to do a better job with younger people and non-traditional voters and just informing them that these races matter as well. And if you were to pick one issue that you think is most important for the city going forward what would that be? Well I'm a big proponent of making sure we do a good job on education, promoting education for our schools and of course the other issue that's crucial for San Antonio is how we're going to bring up our economic development, bring jobs to San Antonio. Great, well thank you very much for your time and I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening. Sure, thank you very much.
