As Mayor Tony Martinez, commissioners Rose Gowen, Jessica Tetreau and Ricardo Longoria looked on, 357th District Judge Juan Magallanes swore in 29-year-old newly-elected At Large "A" commissioner Cesar de Leon.
In his remarks, Magallanes encouraged young people to become involved in local politics and pointed to the election of the young attorney as an indication that they could be successful in setting the city in a new direction.
Notable for their absence were commissioners John Villarreal and Deborah Portillo. A number of supporters accompanied De Leon as did his mother Clarita Zendejas and his father, engineer Cesar Sr.
De Leon garnered 4,445 votes, outpolling his three challengers and even outpolling the mayor by 800 votes.
In his brief remarks, de Leon thanked the public for its support and promised to work with the commissioners to implement new ideas in the city. He is already known to have established close relationships with most of the sitting commissioners and was joined by commissioner Tetreau after the ceremony with his followers.
Tetreau narrowly beat challenger Sergio Zarate by 18 votes and Longoria is caught in a runoff with Roman Perez for District 1. Martinez is in a runoff with former mayor Pat Ahumada. Early voting starts June 1 and election day is June 13.

Who is the "answer"? Or do you just bitch? What is the problem, specifically? What is your recommendation, jerk?
Because Juan is a stooge who will endorse any idiot who is not Martinez.
Wait until he starts throwing his weight trying to benefit his family.... Yes he already has plans to put his family on City Hall.
He's with Tony the little snake.
Actually, he IS the answer. You're just pissed, Anony, that no one asked you the question.
So, un-wad your panties already.

The above comment was written by the Imp Eduardo Paz Martinez...he is a pendejo.

Longoria doe not have the saver?
Mexico is right.
all these kids that were raised across and attended schools in the US are tryin to take over and succeeding becaus the ones that grew up here dont care. The down side is they are bringing their cronies over you watch...
We learned quickly from De Leon. He dissed Pat, got Elizondo and Garza Perez to lead his campaign, and now joined Tony.
No mames, mi Cesar. Te vendiste pronto. Classic browntown politico.
CESAR, CUANTOS ANOS TENIA AQUELLA NENA? UYYYYYYYYYY!
