Issues: Government Operations
Giovanni has led the effort to increase transparency in government because that's the only way it can be held accountable to the people.
Giovanni was named Open Government Lawmaker of the Year for passing several significant ethics reform bills. He led efforts to require a searchable database of all major state and local contracts, specifically detailing every business or person that profits from local contracts, including elected officials. The San Antonio Express News praised the bill as "the most significant ethics reform bill of the session".
