About
In a public sector run by too few with experience in the private sector, Chris Baecker brings a different perspective. He’s done it for academia, and now he hopes to do it for municipal government.
After almost three decades in corporate accounting, he pivoted to the classroom full-time, teaching 8th graders economics and algebra 2. He’s taught college economics at night for almost a dozen years, too.
When he’s not doing that, he keeps an eye on City Hall, etc. with his non-partisan group InfuseSA (he’s their editor and policy director). He shares his observations and analyses there, as well as other outlets such as Real Clear Markets, the San Antonio Express-News, the Mises Institute, etc.
Along the way he’s heard concerns from citizens about corruption, from residents about road problems, from small businesses about issues with code compliance, and from ALL regarding their artificially-inflated property tax bills.
All this fuels his drive to fight for District 6 families’ and San Antonians’ ability to live their lives to the freest and most prosperous, from the dais at City Hall.
