Gina Ortiz Jones, San Antonio mayor since 2025, is in the news for backing the Spurs arena deal after her military and political career.
Voters in Bexar County supported a measure to fund a new downtown arena for the Spurs, with over 52% approval. The project includes a $500 million private investment, city contributions, and private development plans. Construction timing remains undecided, with the current lease ending in 2032.
