THE PORT OF BROWNSVILLE NEEDS TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE NEW LEADERSHIP.

POB.png

It’s time for a change at the Port of Brownsville! For too long, the Port has been governed by a small group of elite insiders.

 

We deserve new Port Commissioners who are 100% committed to transparency, accountability and prioritizing the real needs of our community’s working families.

The Port of Brownsville should support responsible economic growth, help bring new jobs to our area, and contribute to expanded international trade and commerce.

 

But Port Commissioners must also be more accountable to the community – for example, by protecting public access to fishing and hiking on land controlled by the Port along Highway 48. 

 

The Port must do more to ensure that shrimping and fishing industries aren’t harmed by the Port’s industrialization, and keep our jetties, bay and beaches clean for locals and tourism.

 

The Port of Brownsville should also stop giving handouts to huge corporations while doing little to protect workers’ rights or support the needs of small local businesses and working families.

 

Most importantly, Port Commissioners must be dedicated to transparency.  Our community must no longer be kept in the dark about Port actions that have an impact on our quality of life!

Kick the insiders OUT and vote these outsiders IN.

Your vote is your voice.  If you want more transparency, more accountability, and a better future for our community, please cast your vote in the May 4th election for these People’s Port endorsed candidates:
