resident of District 6, a proud product of the Edgewood
community and a graduate of St. Mary’s University. She was
elected to the San Antonio City Council in 2005 and re-elected
in 2007, by the largest margin of any contested Council race.
As an owner of a small business,
DMH Construction and Professional Services, and past Chair of
the City of San Antonio Small Business Economic Development
Advocacy Board, Herrera has had success opening doors for small
businesses, strengthening our local economy and supporting
growth from within.
Herrera has had success as a small
business advocate prior to her service on City Council. As a
result, she was appointed to the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Committee
for Small Business, the State of Texas General Services
Commission, and most recently Congressman Gonzalez’s
Congressional Housing Task Force. She also served on the
building committee for the Affordable Parade of Homes in
District 6.
Committed to serving the community, Herrera served on the Board
of the Edgewood Family Network and is an active member of the
Los Jardines Neighborhood Association. Her civic activities
include teaching courses in the community, such as What You
Need to Know in Order to Protest Your Property Tax Appraisal,
and Preparation for the U.S. Citizenship exam.
In 2000, Herrera worked hard to
improve the quality of housing for residents of the Mirasol
Housing Development bringing residents concerns before the
appropriate entities and organizations.
Herrera’s first term accomplishments include an integral role in
negotiating the arrival of the Microsoft Corporation,
participating as a founding member of the Westside Development
Corporation, and crafting a public-private partnership agreement
to remove over 200 homes from the flood plain. Mayor Phil
Hardberger appointed Councilwoman Herrera to Governance, Urban
Affairs, and the Economic and International Affairs Council

Herrera looks forward to
strengthening the participation of residents in District 6, and
