Ivalis's Platform
Funding Public Safety
Nothing is more important than the safety and security of our families, homes, and businesses. As a city council member, Ivalis will work to ensure that 911 response times are reduced, that we recruit and retain the best and brightest first responders, and that we provide the full funding necessary to address and reduce crime in our community.
Supporting Seniors
Seniors play a vital role in our community, and they deserve our respect and appreciation. That’s why Ivalis is committed to prioritizing their needs. From enhancing senior centers to reducing their tax burden, Ivalis will advocate for policies that ensure seniors can age with dignity.
Improving Infrastructure
As our City grows, traffic and congestion inevitably increase. Ivalis recognizes that more cars on the road lead to greater wear and tear on our streets. As a councilwoman, she will advocate for District 8 to receive its fair share of the City Budget to address these infrastructure challenges. Additionally, she will ensure that critical drainage projects in our area are prioritized in upcoming bond programs.
Protecting Parks
Ivalis understands the vital role that parks and green spaces play in enhancing the quality of life for District 8 residents. As a mother of two school-aged children, she and her husband appreciate the value of local parks for keeping their kids physically active. When elected, Ivalis will prioritize investing in the renovation of existing parks and expanding hike and bike trails. As new developments arise, she will advocate for the creation of additional parks and the preservation of green spaces, ensuring that District 8 remains an attractive community for new residents and families.
Growing Our Economy
District 8 boasts one of the strongest economies in San Antonio thanks to the Medical Center, numerous corporate headquarters, and our beloved small businesses. However, Ivalis knows there is always room for improvement. As a city council member, she will focus on supporting all businesses, but especially those affected by construction zones that impact their bottom line. Ivalis will collaborate closely with the City's Economic Development office to ensure that District 8 businesses have the resources and support they need to thrive.
