“This is an important part of the democratic process for our municipal candidates,” said Gustavo Guevara, City Secretary. “It is important that the order of names on the ballot is selected as impartially as possible, and not using any other form of sequencing system, such as listing incumbents first; alphabetical order; or by age.”
The number selected by each candidate, or their designated representative, is the order their names will appear on the ballot for the election, to be held on Tuesday, November 2, 2010.

Laredo Please Vote for me Bill White as your next Texas Governor. God Bless You.
I choose David Pena from Cricket Wireless for MAYOR
i think esteban rangel is alot better than barney garcia but i agree with you barney valdez is alot better than gene belmares pero el gordito salinas is going to win so get over it and stop hating
i think joe valdez is alot better than gene belmares
salinas has failed as mayor and gene is a radical nut who only cares about his friends in business and jose valdez needs a set of balls its sad when sitting public servants cannot get the seal of approval from the voters
