The vote to appoint Mike Gallagher was unanimous and he was sworn in immediately Thursday. He is a former U.S. Air Force colonel who represented the Northeast San Antonio district from 2014 to 2017.
He currently serves as president of the Northern Hills Homeowners Association and president of the Northeast Neighborhood Alliance, which encompasses 86 neighborhood groups across multiple council districts. Gallagher said he doesn’t plan to step down from his other roles while serving on council, but he does plan to decline the council salary.
“[This] is not the time for new leadership. This is the time for Mike Gallagher’s proven leadership,” Clamp said.The Nov. 6 collision involving Perry prompted the third-term councilman to request a leave of absence. In the wake of the incident, Gallagherasking them to withhold judgment because Perry told him he may have been impacted by new medication the night of the crash.
“I don’t want to understate the seriousness of what’s going on with the vacancy. This is an active criminal investigation,” said Nirenberg on Thursday. “… Are you ready, willing and able to serve however long this vacancy might take place, whether that’s a few months, or whether that’s the entire rest of the term?”
If Perry hasn’t returned in time for the May election, Gallagher said, “it could be that we have to have… some new blood.” He said he was encouraged by the large number of candidates that filed for the council’s consideration for the temporary appointment. “Many of us were very impressed with what you have to offer the district, whether an interim appointment, or whether as an elected official at some point in the future,” Councilwoman Ana Sandoval told Rubio.
