Alan Warrick II, a native of San Antonio, was baptized at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church and grew up in his parent’s home on Burleson Street in Dignowity Hill, and with his Grandparents on Chateau Street in Willowwood. His parents were one of the first families to restore a home in Dignowity Hill in the early 1980’s and his grandparents on both sides of the family, made up the bedrock of Eastside San Antonio. Their service and pride in their community instilled the deep love he has for District 2. That’s why he renovated and moved into his current home on Chateau, surrounded by family and friends; and demonstrating his commitment to the community and service. He has many connections to service in the community and politics in the District. His family has been continually active within District 2 for many years. His grandfather, Joseph A. Scott Jr., was a key business owner and political figure for over 40 years. He assisted candidates in many winning elections and also ran for the State Legislature in the 1970’s. His father, Alan E. Warrick, served as a Municipal Court Judge for the City of San Antonio from 1982 to 1989; and his mother, Dr. Cynthia Warrick, was elected and served on the Board of Trustees of the Alamo Colleges from 1986 through 1989.

He envisions a District 2 with entertainment and retail outlets, expanded employment opportunities and healthcare services, improved infrastructure and other characteristics of a healthy community. He also envisions a District 2 in which the unemployment rate is comparable to that of the best districts in San Antonio, and a District 2 where his daughter and every child of her generation will have high quality educational and career opportunities that will make them competitive to achieve their aspirations.
