Manny Peláez has served as the San Antonio City Council District 8 representative since 2017. He is a practicing attorney. His campaign website says he will sign five “contracts” with residents in his first five days as mayor — to make San Antonio the safest, strongest, smartest, most compassionate, and most authentic city in the country.
Texas Public Radio is conducting mayoral candidate interviews on The Source, TPR's live call-in news program.
Candidates will be given roughly 30 minutes each for a one-on-one interview with David Martin Davies, the host of The Source.
Two candidates will be featured on each daily episode of the program during the week of April 14-April 17, live from noon to 1:00 p.m.
Listeners are encouraged to call in to participate and engage with the candidates on topics important to them and the San Antonio community. Leave a message before the program at (210) 615-8982. During the live show, call 833-877-8255, email thesource@tpr.org or find us @texaspublicradio on social media platforms.
Candidates have been instructed to keep their remarks focused on themselves and their vision for the city.
The eight candidates were selected from a field of 27 based on polling, campaign fundraising and previous offices held.
This interview will be recorded on Monday April 14, 2025 from 12:30-1:00 p.m. CST.
