Mayor Ramiro Garza, Jr.

So very blessed to have had the opportunity to provide lunch today to our City employees as a heartfelt appreciation for all they do. As my term as Mayor comes to an end soon, I wanted all employees to know that I am very grateful for all they do each and every day for our City. Many thanks to Cazadores Grillers BBQ team including Brandon Hernandez and Janie Moreno for all their help in making today possible.

Many thanks to Carmen Avila Elementary School for inviting me this morning to install new student council members and officers for this school year. Wish them a great school year!

Many thanks to everyone that came by to this special recognition by the City for my years of service. I was not expecting this but I am humbled by the recognition. It has been my greatest honor to serve as Mayor and I want to thank my family, my fellow Councilmembers, all City staff and all my supporters for allowing me the opportunity to serve and give back. May God continue to bless our beautiful community.

Good morning, everyone! Today is the start to early voting and I would like to encourage everyone to go out and vote!

As a City, we have moved our City forward with lots of progress but there is still much work to do. I may not be on the ballot but I humbly ask for your vote for Omar Ochoa for Mayor and reelection of Dan Diaz and Jason De Leon.

Omar has the experience, integrity and leadership to move our City forward. Dan and Jason have proudly served our City the last four years and will continue making improvements to move our City forward.

There are also 17 statewide constitutional amendments on the ballot, including some that may provide property tax relief such as raising the homestead exemption, and other important measures.
