City Election Results Overview

AT LARGE "B"
DISTRICT 3
DISTRICT 4

CARLOS AYALA

CARLOS CISNEROS

ARGELIA MILLER

ALBERTO VELEZ

MOSES SOROLA

ROBERT URESTI

ROMAN PEREZ






Of note:

- 6% voter turnout. SIX PERCENT. That's pretty pathetic and leaves little wonder why Brownsville's stuck with an asshat as mayor.*

- Carlos Ayala got 80% of mail-in votes; an incredible rate that prevented Gowen from winning outright. Color me paranoid, but 5 will get you 10 there were bought ballots there. Even a broken clock and all that...

- Argelia Miller with nearly 33% of the Dist 4 vote? I mean, Really?

- Sorola shocked many with his better-than-expected showing of 30%. How else does a 7-year incumbent get only 1/3 of the district vote?

*Sure, the charter's recall threshold was finally lowered to 10% (from 25%) of registered voters. And that'd help send Ahumada packing, if only one could find 8,000 voters to vote the same way. On anything. Fat chance.
