By now it has become evident that all of the candidates for the mayorship of the City of Brownsville are of one mind: If any of the lose, they will support the one who gets in the runoff with Tony Martinez.
Everyone that is, except for former mayor Pat Ahumada.It stands to reason that the five candidates for mayor, Ahumada, Brenda Joyas, Erasmo Castro, Robert “Bob” Sanchez, and William A. Garza all believe that the city should head in a different direction that the one being followed by Martinez.
The reasons are too numerous to mention here. In fact, it is in the five challengers' platforms that call for transparency, inclusion, and city policies and spending that benefit the public.
Let's not forge that it was under Ahuamda that the public comments section of city meetings were blacked out on the advice of ethics-challenged city attorney Mark Sossi. Now we hear that Ahumada is sorry that he listened to him, but alas, it's too late.
His successor Martinez first appeared on the scene with a celestial glow and promised the city that he would clean out the municipality and vowed to implement a code of ethics for public officials and employees. Well, we're still waiting.
Instead, we got a n administration that has totally corrupted the administration of this city's finances and its policies so that Martinez and his cronies over at United Brownsville are ransacking the city's treasury for the benefit of their buddies over at the University of Texas in Brownsville and the maquiladoras in Matamoros.
Castro told us that he had approached all of the challengers to the mayorship and that all – except for Ahumada – had reached the pact of support for the one that made the runoff with Martinez.If Pat ran for the betterment of the city and to defeat Martinez, why is he not joining this pact? Isn't that the reason he and the others are running? Or is Pat running for Pat alone?
There are four seats up for grabs this time around. If all the challengers to the incumbents reached to support the winner among them, the city could rest assured that a new majority would be elected, mayor or not. If indeed the betterment of the city is the reason that they all ran in this election, why wouldn't they?
Candidates of the COB unite. You have nothing to lose but a majority on the commission.

What a bullshit article montoya, next time hopefully they leave your ass is in jail cabron.
I hope bobby gets his wish and u get thrown in the bin soon, that will give the bloggers something factual and entertaining to write about
Vote for the Lesser of two Evils . That is the general advice in Politics. Da Mayor now wants to donate the Pan-American Bldg . to the U.T. for one dollar. .Then, move the city staff to the infested ass-bestos mold ridden Nylon Bldg. Now that's progress.!
Vote for the lessor of two evils in Politics.
Castro is full of it. When did he become the voice of pacts and honor. Ridiculous and I'm not even voting for Pat but this one misses the mark.
Wicho of the candidatos will fire sossi? I will vote For him/her.
Perez will. Just ask him.
Ayyyy porfavor.... Que hace Sanchez?? Remember Conrado Cantu?? Compadre de Sanchez con Captain Bob's.. Puro Conejo..
AhUmada will fire Sossi's ass .
If there is a runoff between Martinez and Ahumada, I will vote for Ahumada without any hesitation whatsoever. Period.
Juan you are right on. Ahumada does not know the meaning of transparency and inclusion. If he did he would have not received a check for $28,000+.
PAT que no se te olvide el cheque que te chingaste 28000 que no se te olvide.dejate de mamadas y no corras.es ridiculo lo que estas haciendo.
They are all a bunch of idiots but Ahumada is the biggest idiot of all !!!!
I don't know, but I think I would vote for Pat. He has been there and done it two times before. The other candidates, no mas no! Estan bien babosos. Pat es el mejorsito de toda la bola. Pat, I think you will be ok for mayor again, just this time, put your care for animals at the bottom of the list. We have SpaceX and LNG coming and we need to, 100%, focus on business - our local economy and commerce. Try to get on board savvy business people as commissioners that are business lions and know how to be frugal and generate surpluses for our city. Not the ones we have today that can only create bike trails and parks.lol....oh, and wash cars. lmao
We surely don't need another four years of wasteful spending. This cylcobia stuff also got out of hand, many city departments are over budget on overtime pay due to this quarterly event. We have many bike trails that the citizens can use for bicycling, so what is the big deal with hosting cyclovias? The city have enough overtime pay issues with during charro days.
Creo que lo que haya hecho Pat FUE TOTALMENTE "LIGHT" comparado con lo que ha hecho el actual Mayor, el cual se encuentra documentado ampliamente.
Los que defienden al actual Mayor, los reto a que pasen por todos los baches que se encuentran a lo largo de Brownsville, ojalá que no se les chinguen sus suspensiones.
Saludos
The only business Pat know is the arcade business.... Baboso!
I believe that it was not Mr. Ahumada's fault when he deposited the so called check in his bank account. He was cleared by a court of law of any wrongdoing, besides, that amount was pocket change compared to the millions of dollars that the current Mayor has spent on useless real estate deals. Just take a tour downtown and see for yourselves where the taxpayer's money was spent to benefit the previous owners of these properties, or rat nests for a better word.
MONTOYA...yo no voy a votar por ningun candidato a MAYOR.PERO DEJAME OPINAR SOBRE EL ANUNCIO DE 'PAT AHUMADA'en el periodico de hoy domingo donde critica a TONY MARTINEZ'.patricio que huevos tienes de criticar alotro candidato cuando tu el curiculum que traes esta de la chingada. por ejemplo el cheque que te chingaste de 28000 dlls,te cerraron el negocio de maquinas por ser ilegal, cuantas veces te han metido al bote por 'P E D O '. NO TRAES NADA BUENO PARA QUE VUELVAS Hacer mayor,haznos un favor y renuncia a la cadinturia.
Pat, don't let the derogatory comments on here discourage you. These people are good to talk but not walk. At least you are walking towards trying to improve and make a difference. And these people are just sitting on their ass posting derogatory comments and not contributing anything positive. They must be bewildered in the head. People, yes, Pat has done wrong by drinking and driving on multiple occasions, but come on… who here is not guilty of this. We have all done it at some point in our life. That doesn’t make us bad people or incompetent at our profession. There are probably individuals out there throughout our city way better then Pat. But he is “el mejorsito” from all the ones that are currently running; so we take the better one and trash the rest.
Oh, and for the individual that posted “The only business Pat know is the arcade business.... Baboso!” YA SABES PARA DONDE LLIERTE, WHEY!!
Who does Da Mayor represent ?1. Banks, 2. Certain realtors, 3. Money Càrtels, 4. Igor Gachanski for the law firm's kick-backs, 5. Certain attorneys, 6. Car dealerships, and other vested interests . Oops, forgot. The obligation bond companies to the tune of 9.5 millions.
PARA EL COMENTARIO 3.24 PM. si quieres tomar y ponerte pedo 'NO MANEJES'.EL GOBIERNO FEDERAL Y ESTAL SE GASTAN MILLONES DE DOLARES EN CAMPANAS 'SI TOMAS NO MANEJES'QUE EJEMPLO DA ESTE WEY DE AHUMADA EN ANDAR PEDO MANEJANDO.AHORA DICES QUE ES EL MEJORCITO,SI ES ASI Y ESA ES TU OPINION PUES SI QUE LOS CIUDADANOS DE BROWNSVILLE ESTAMOS JODIDOS. AHORA SI LE SUELTAS LA CHEQUERA A ESTE WEY IMAGINATE LO QUE SE VA A CHINGAR.
You are as sick as Ahumada.
Ahmadabad is as healthy as a German Shepard. He is not sick as you mentioned .
You're as crazy as Ahumada!!
Your examples and reasoning is very ignorant and you don't seem to have much information about all the stuff our current mayor is doing and has done.Try comparing Pat's check to the multi-million real estate ventures of our mayor.Pat was found innocent , our mayor made his buddies lots of money and the deal stinks.There is many other things but everyone knows the mayor is corrupt and couldn't care less about the citizens . ...think about that !

No, no es asi, baboso!! Si no sabes hablar ingles, now you are really F&*&&((&*ed!!! This is the United States of America - english is our primary language. You are more than welcome to come and stay - no problem. But we are not going to adapt to you and your customs. You need to embrace and adapt to our language and customs of doing things. And if you can’t do this, then leave. Oh, and another thing, CLTP. The End! Lmao!!
