Early voting underway for special mayoral election in La Grulla
As of Thursday, about 250 people in the small town of La Grulla have cast their ballots for their new mayor in a special election.
Former mayor and Perez Elementary School Principal Patty Solis resigned in April amid a new policy at the La Joya Independent School district that banned some district employees from holding elected office.
Three individuals — Eli Guerra, Jon Venecia and Macario Villarreal — are now vying to replace her in the July 23 election.
Guerra is an HR consultant who's worked with private companies, and cities and governments. He says his promise to residents is to grow the city's economic value.
