🗳️ ELECTION DAY IS TOMORROW 🗳️
Once again this year, TCE has partnered with other community groups in Corpus Christi to endorse a CLEAN SLATE of City Council candidates who share our commitment to a clean, safe, healthy Texas.
Our Corpus coalition believes it’s time for city leaders to put the needs of local families and businesses first, and STOP forcing residents to subsidize Big Industry with huge tax breaks and a disastrous $757 million bay water desalination plan.
In the last election, two of our endorsed candidates won against opponents backed by Big Industry. Since then, Jim Klein and Sylvia Campos have been leading the charge at City Hall to end corporate tax breaks, lower residential water bills, and stop desalination in the Corpus Christi Bay.
This year our coalition is working to re-elect Jim Klein and Syliva Campos and win five additional seats! ✅ Our additional 2024 endorsed candidates are Isabel Araiza for Mayor, Rachel Caballero and Jennifer Gracia for Council At-Large, Eli McKay for Council District 1, and Eric Magnusson IV for Council District 4.
Corpus Christi is fed up with a City Council majority that’s given away nearly $100 million in tax breaks to Big Industry and now wants residents to pay $757 million for risky bay water desalination to provide water to the subsidized companies!
The potentially devastating environmental impact of desalination on the Corpus Christi Bay seems hardly an afterthought in the City Council’s rush to make families and small businesses pay Big Industry’s bills. We say: ENOUGH.
🤠 Our work at TCE is focused on supporting Texans on the front lines of big polluters’ assault on our communities and the climate we all share. Our coalition won in 2022 in part because of help from TCE volunteers from across the state. RIGHT NOW is when our endorsed candidates need our support to get the word out.
