Potholes shouldn’t be the most memorable part of your commute. Are our tax dollars delivering safer roads?
In this roughly 80-second video, Patrick Von Dohlen asks whether roads and transportation have improved for the people who use them every day. Drawing on his travels around San Antonio and Bexar County, he raises concerns about potholes, uneven pavement, and raised manhole covers—and calls for greater accountability in how public dollars are spent.

Safer roads are about more than a smoother ride
Patrick describes road conditions he believes can damage vehicles and create hazards for drivers. His concern is not simply inconvenience: he connects the condition of local streets to public safety and the everyday services residents should be able to rely on.
The county’s role outside city limits
He also distinguishes city services from county responsibilities, emphasizing roads and streets in unincorporated areas—communities outside municipal boundaries. Patrick argues that the conversation about transportation must include these residents, not just the largest city.
Put public dollars to work on the basics
Patrick calls for county leadership that analyzes spending, measures results, and directs resources toward infrastructure, public safety, and core services. His central message is that residents deserve an advocate who focuses on the community’s needs and the value delivered by the taxes they pay.
