San Antonio’s City Council District 5 encompasses most of the city’s near West Side.
Councilwoman Teri Castillo (D5), who was elected with a class of young progressives in 2021, faces two challengers as she seeks a third term. If no candidate takes at least 50% of the vote on May 3, the top two finishers will advance to a June 7 runoff.
All of San Antonio’s 10 City Council seats will be on the May 3 municipal election ballot, along with a crowded mayoral race.
Council members elected this year will serve a four-year term, thanks to new longer council limits approved by voters in November.
The job will pay $70,200 per year.
Candidate information comes from candidate websites, filing documents and other sources.
