The other candidates are Brownsville Police Chief/Asst. City Manager Felix Sauceda, Assistant City Manager and Police Chief, Brownsville, Steve Williams, City Manager of Schertz, Texas, Majed Al Ghafy, City Manager, DeSoto, Texas, and Edwina "Edy" Benites-LM, Interim Director of Economic Development, Jefferson County, West Virginia.
To local wags, when Garcia refers to his father-in-law, he is talking about former city commissioner and Pct. 2 Cameron County commissioner Ernie Hernandez, who left his elected office rather unceremoniously after he negotiated a deal with Cameron County District Attorney Luis V. Saenz, to avoid prosecution for his role in "fixing" the hiring of his brother-in-law as a non-commissioned security guard at one of the county's international bridges. Testimony at the trial of his assistant Raul Salazar, indicated that Hernandez had manipulated the system to provide the answers to the questions on the Civil Service exam to qualify for the position.
To "Ernie," local preference meant steering business to his sign-making business and his barbecue catering enterprise. If Garcia is chosen for city manager, how much "pull" will Ernie have?
Doroteo Garcia's wife is local attorney Erin Hernandez Garcia, who this time ran for judge of the 107th District Court and did not make the runoff.)

The city of Brownsville is fucked. City officials should just copy what ever McAllen does because they know how to run a successful city. Nothing here but corruption at City Hall with corrupt land speculators on the commission trading on insider information, corruption at PUB and BISD. Brownsville is a shit stain.
For me any local who is seeking this job seems okay to have themselves and family dragged down into the quagmire of Brownsville under John Cowen. Did he really believe he had a chance without any politico support? His wife could not even make a run-off as the only female. They have zero support for anything. Forget about Ernie. How much is he promising the local politico fools if he is hired? We are so screwed.
Ah brownsville, always looking for a crook? At least, we know now that ernie's C@#& daughter had no chance of winning as a district judge? The numbers only showed and proved that ernie, the rat carries no more political weight in brownsville. DA saenz should have prosecuted that fat piece of shit, period!
