Brownsville City Commission election sees crowded races
It’s a crowded field of candidates for the upcoming Brownsville City Commission election to fill three seats: commissioner for District 3, commissioner for District 4 and commissioner At-Large “B.”
District 3 incumbent Roy De los Santos, elected to the commission in a runoff in June 2021, will not defend his current seat but instead filed as a candidate for Commissioner At-Large “B,” which will be vacated by veteran Commissioner Rose M.Z. Gowen, first elected to the seat in 2009.
Also running for At-Large “B” are Alejandro Garcia, a “digital creator,” according to his Facebook page; Nurith Galonsky Pizana, former Commissioner for District 1 who in May 2023 lost the seat in a runoff with Bryan Martinez; and Jason Moody, president/CEO of RGV Media Group and former director of public relations and community engagement for the Brownsville Independent School District.
Vying for the District 3 seat are Yvonne Barraza, whose Facebook page describes her as a “wife, mother and business owner;” Denise Granado Chavez, a business development executive for Trane Technologies, according her LinkedIn profile; and Gustavo Manuel Deleon, a field supervisor for U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
