SAN ANTONIO \u2013 The San Antonio Ethics Review Board voted 3-0 to fine District 2 Councilman Jalen McKee-Rodriguez $1,000 after finding he violated the city\u2019s ethics code by sharing a constituent\u2019s private email address in a Facebook post.<\/p>\n

The penalty stems from a post McKee-Rodriguez made in May<\/a>. The board found two ethics-code violations connected to the post and assessed the maximum fine of $500 for each violation.<\/p>\n

The fine will be paid to the city\u2019s general fund. No payment deadline was specified.<\/p>\n

On June 1, San Antonio resident Juan Rider Mireles II filed the sworn ethics complaint against McKee-Rodriguez, alleging he misused official city resources and violated the city\u2019s ethics rules by publicly exposing a constituent\u2019s private information on Facebook.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, a constituent posted a comment on social media that used a racial slur against McKee-Rodriguez.<\/p>\n

McKee-Rodriguez, who is Black, then published three images on his Facebook page in response \u2014 including a screenshot of the constituent\u2019s comment, her profile picture and a screenshot of an email from the Council District 2 office sent to her on Sept. 12, 2024.<\/p>\n

The complaint states the email screenshot appeared to have been accessed through a Microsoft Outlook application on an iPhone and exposed the constituent\u2019s full email address, which the complaint said McKee-Rodriguez obtained through official council channels.<\/p>\n
