San Antonio, TX – April 13, 2025 — Ivalis Meza Gonzalez, candidate for San Antonio City Council District 8, today unveiled her plan to fully fund public safety services in the district. The initiative aims to reduce 911 response times, improve emergency preparedness, and support the city’s first responders with the resources they need.

“Public safety isn’t optional—it’s essential,” said Meza Gonzalez. “District 8 residents deserve to feel safe where they live and work, and that starts with making sure our first responders are supported and equipped to respond quickly.”

Meza Gonzalez’s plan calls for targeted investment in emergency response, including the recruitment and retention of top-tier police, fire, and EMS personnel. She also plans to advocate for smarter community-based approaches to reduce crime and improve outcomes for residents.

As San Antonio continues to grow, Meza Gonzalez believes city leadership must ensure all neighborhoods—regardless of size or location—receive equitable public safety services. Her platform emphasizes fairness in response times and resource distribution, especially for communities that have historically been overlooked.

In addition to increasing emergency response efficiency, Meza Gonzalez supports long-term strategies to prevent crime, including youth programs, mental health services, and neighborhood partnerships. She plans to work closely with District 8 residents and community leaders to develop solutions that reflect local needs.

“Keeping our community safe takes more than just equipment or staffing,” she added. “It means building trust, listening to concerns, and making sure city government follows through.”

If elected, Meza Gonzalez says she will hold regular community meetings and provide updates on progress related to public safety. Transparency and accountability will remain at the core of her leadership approach.
