Homegrown tech leader Beto Altamirano would bring a private-sector background to a race dominated by City Hall insiders.
Homegrown tech leader Beto Altamirano is gearing up to join San Antonio’s open 2025 mayoral race after months of meeting privately with political operatives and business leaders.to a “special announcement” party at the Friendly Spot on June 1 shows a smiling Altamirano against a blue background with his name in red and white script, inviting community members to “get ready to meet Beto and hear his vision for our city.
“I look at what’s happening today in City Hall and I get frustrated,” Altamirano said. “I think my set of skills being an executive at a company will fit well in an environment where you need to build the right team, go after the right projects, gain momentum, talk about a vision forward for the city of San Antonio, but most importantly, moderate and engage the community on a conversation about what they would like to see happen.
Altamirano has been taken under the wing of Reed Williams, a retired oil and gas executive and former District 8 councilman, who wields influence in the business community and has introduced him to a network of other power players. That relationship comes after Altamirano spent years building connections on the left as a political organizer and staffer for Democratic candidates and officeholders.
Altamirano, age 34, grew up in Mission, Texas, studied government at the University of Texas and received a master’s degree in public administration from the Harvard Kennedy School.
