Top issues during term (7)(Governance)
election candidacy
Public funds won't be directly touched, but expect campaign spending to heat up as this high-profile race kicks off.
mayoral forum
Doesn't cost you a dime to attend, but the outcome will shape how your tax dollars are spent.
boards and commissions
Boosting sports tourism means more visitors spending money at local hotels, restaurants, and shops, which helps the local economy.
election integrity
Taxpayers will likely foot the bill for the legal fees and the cost of holding a brand-new election.
election lawsuit
Edcouch taxpayers are on the hook for pricey legal fees to fight this lawsuit, which could drain cash from actual city improvements.
electioneering ordinance
There is likely no direct cost to taxpayers, though the city may spend a little time updating signage and enforcement.
Poll Worker Compensation
Estimated budgetary impact of $340,000 annually for elections.
