BROWNSVILLE, Texas - Brownsville resident and community advocate David A. Garcia has announced plans to run for Place 2 in the upcoming Brownsville Navigation District Commission election.
The election takes place on May 2. The filing period has just opened.
Place 2 will be an open seat because long-term director John Wood has announced he is not seeking re-election.
Garcia said he has worked alongside many officials for many years to improve the economic well-being of the region. He said he enters the race with the vast experience, knowledge, and trust necessary to keep the Port moving in a positive direction.
“Through my work at the federal and local levels on projects of national, state, and regional significance, I have touched the lives of many citizens directly and indirectly which has been one of my greatest joys,” Garcia said. “Specifically, I have worked on policy to include the Port of Brownsville ship channel widening and deepening project in the annual federal authorization bill – a project that is underway today.”
Garcia said he has also been involved in some of the most important infrastructure projects in the region that have gone from concept to construction.
“I want to use my background to work with the Board and Administration to continue to raise the bar and take the Port of Brownsville to new heights. I genuinely love this community and want to see it prosper and I know I can continue building on its success,” he said.
Garcia pointed out that he spent ten years working in Washington, D.C. on Capitol Hill to ensure the priorities of South Texans were at the forefront at the Administration and agency level. He said he then came home to work for Cameron County for 15 years. He said that during this time he worked under four County Judges, numerous County Commissioners and alongside many elected and non-elected officials.
Garcia said he understands the intersection of government, business, and community, focusing on economic and workforce development to foster an improved economic environment for the residents in South Texas. In building his consulting practice, Garcia said he has represented private and public entities, assisting them with the challenges and obstacles they faced in their growth and expansion efforts.
“Over the years, I have built many relationships with people from all walks of life. I will call upon those relationships and work with my colleagues to continue the momentum to make more dreams come true for those looking for better opportunities. I am amazed with what is happening at the Port – the economic engine of South Texas and am pleased to have played a small part in its progress,” Garcia said.
“I am blessed to have built a professional career serving others but now it is time to give back by serving in this capacity. If given the opportunity, my mission is simple: I want to HELP so that people can continue to succeed and businesses can thrive. The time is now and we must capitalize on opportunities presented to us.”

Can we confirm this is not a hand picked person from Steve Guerra?? Just like the guy he brought from Monterrey that is currently a Port Commisioner??
New candidates: brave people.
Pussy. No new ideas from this ghost.
Why did David Garcia get fired from Cameron County? This guy is a Steve Guerra plant. Is it true he has made a deal with Steve Guerra to hire him as County Administrator at County of he wins? Fuera con Este payaso
7:06 PM I believe my sources tell me the same thing. David is a plant in part of Steve. Sources also indicate he was guaranteed a job at county if he wins. Same goes for Pedro Cardenas, he was promised by Steve to be his Chief of staff. That would be Pedro’s second pay check living off of peoples Tax payer money. The first one being his check from the City commission of Brownsville and his second potentially from the county. Imagine that, Pedro, a die-hard Trumper living off of people’s tax payer money, all whilst he says no one should get any hand-outs. The hypocrisy is real, I can’t support that. Sorry Steve I’m with Eddie.
- your good friend
Pedro Cardenas needs a job and this is his way of getting one! Steve is his handler! Just ask him he'll tell you ! LOL
Me too, I am with Eddie Trevino. He is connected to important people. People with money. These candidates are poor, living check by check. Honest, hardworking, respectful people. We do not want that. We want money and to smell like the rich.
