Local topics

Ballotpedia asked candidates specific questions regarding recent issues in the city. The questions are in the left column and the candidate's responses are in the right column.

Question	Response
What is your stance on the Vista Ridge water pipeline project?	It is a hefty expensive project and involves much land and water conversions ;however, I do have confidence in SAWS who has worked over decades in responsible water recovery for our city.
What policies should the city of San Antonio have regarding possession and use of marijuana?	I don't see any policy changes at this time. Marijuana is produced illegally and sold in illegal manners, to change a "policy" would need to have the production and selling policy changed as well.
How should San Antonio’s government respond if the state legislature preempts the city’s nondiscrimination ordinance?	This ordinance whether by the state or by our city should be written to safe-guard rights without infringing on others. All people have the right to their own conscience, I would like the city of San Antonio NDO rewritten to better protect and respect all people.
Should local law enforcement in San Antonio consider immigration status in interactions with individuals? If yes, in what ways should that status be considered?	Yes. I believe our police force is already well trained to know how and when to ask for specifics.

Nationwide municipal issues

The candidate was asked to answer questions from Ballotpedia regarding issues facing cities across America. The questions are in the left column and the candidate's responses are in the right column. Some questions provided multiple choices, which are noted after those questions.

Question	Response
Is it important for the city’s budget to be balanced?Answer options: Not important; Not important, but required by state law; A little important; A little important, but required by state law; Important; Very important	Very important
Which level of government do you feel should set a minimum wage?Answer options: None, Local, State, Federal	None
What do you think is the best way to improve a city’s public safety? Candidates could write their own answer or choose from the following options: Increased economic opportunities, Increased police presence/activity, Harsher penalties for offenders, Public outreach/education programs	Increased police presence/activity. Without more police presence we are vulnerable.
How do you think your city should emphasize economic development? Candidates could write their own answer or choose from the following options: Changing zoning restrictions, Create a more competitive business climate, Focusing on small business development, Instituting a citywide minimum wage, Recruiting new businesses to your city, Regulatory and licensing reforms, and tax reform	Focusing on small business development. Small business has the best environment here in SA it's easy, it's friendly and SA is known for small business.
What is the one thing you’re most proud of about your city?	It's culture. I find it endearing, warm and friendly. I find it a welcome to anyone and a life to all. I grew up in the state of Ohio in the Cleveland area where multiple ethnicities lived, and often lived separate from each other, but in San Antonio the cultural divide does not exist.
What is the one thing you’d most like to change about your city?	Those who control it. The need to lead in liberal thinking ways I feel interferes with the city's ability to grow economically and culturally. We have little in conservative thought and little tolerance for it as well and therefore miss the balance needed for sustainable growth and education.

Gibbons also told Ballotpedia:

“	I welcome the opportunity to share more conservative principals in the dialogue of our city. I hope our city could expand its ability to accept such discussions	”
—Patricia Gibbons (March 28, 2017)
