San Antonio, Rio Grande Valley mayors discuss border, SB4

EDINBURG — There’s power in speaking with a unified voice, and that’s precisely what municipal leaders from Brownsville to San Antonio hope to leverage through a new partnership called the South Texas Alliance of Cities, or STAC. It’s all part of a relatively new effort spurred by San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg to capitalize on the shared heritage of the communities in the greater South Texas region in order to wield more clout economically and politically.

Nirenberg spoke of the importance of presenting South Texas’ predominantly Latino culture as an asset and a strength rather than simply a political talking point. “We have a shared heritage, a history that we’re proud of and … that’s something that needs to be seen as it is, which is a strength for this country and for this state and for our economy,” Nirenberg said. “Part of the reason for forming the South Texas Alliance is to tell that story and make sure it resonates,” he added.
