The Ethics Review Board will hear a complaint on Monday regarding Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones’ solicitation of the Democratic National Convention to come to San Antonio.
Bexar County GOP Vice-Chairman Kyle Sinclair filed an ethics complaint against Jones on July 16, more than two weeks after the new mayor sent a letter to top DNC officials promoting San Antonio as a destination for the party’s 2028 national convention.
Sinclair argued it was improper for the mayor to use her position and city resources to pursue a “partisan political event.”
An outside attorney for the city, Nadeen Abou-Hossa, reviewed the complaint and allowed a portion of it to proceed for the city’s Ethics Review Board (ERB) to consider.
