Early Voting starts on Monday, April 19, and goes through Tuesday, April, 27.
In March, we asked you to submit your questions for the candidates and we received more than 400 questions from KSAT.com readers.
Many of the questions were similar and we were able to group them into a few themes. We chose three of the most commonly asked questions, sent to each candidate and asked them to respond by April 12.
Here are the questions you asked:
- Are you for or against Prop B and why?
- What are your plans to reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness in San Antonio?
- What is your plan to clean up and improve our city -- specifically when it comes to the condition of our roads, litter (dumping) and graffiti?
