From the editor:  When it rains, it pours.  After receiving an expose' on Roy De Los Santos, a reader expresses some concerns about City Commissioner Pedro Cardenas.  

We're not attesting to the accuracy of the comment and, certainly, if Mr. Cardenas wants to respond, we will publish that response.  

As always: "Let the reader use discernment."  Saint Matthew, Chapter 24, Verse 15. (No, I'm not religious, but I recognize and use Biblical quotes.)                                                                                       

Below this campaign advertisement from another year, we post the reader's comment without editing:



Pedro Cardenas, the greatest wolf in disguise the city has seen. 

1, Lied about where lives, he does not live in the vicinity of his district, he lives somewhere else. He got caught in that scandal so he faked an address in VICC which was total BS, the guy has been seen in other neighborhoods and is making a house in a district 3 area. 

2, faked a divorce to allow his wife to apply for BCIC funds which she was able to acquire instantly to keep her baking shop on Washington st. Afloat. Interesting to see a fake divorce come about and see a BCIC application 24 hours later, such liars. 

3, moved ownership of his restaurants over to another family members name to apply for BCIC grants, which he did and once again acquired funds from BCIC to stash into his pockets. 

4, your infamous run in with the police, at the station they all know Pedro, they told us how it went down how you said “do you know who i am?” Playing that card of high and mighty but then again we wouldn’t expect anymore for you but that. Can’t wait for the footage to be released so the people can see your true colors. 

5, placed a lawsuit against the city to not release the footage, why would you do that? What are you trying to hide from your constituents? 6, you clinging to certain groups in this race when we all know you don’t give two hoots about anyone. This is ridiculous, for example you claim to be supporting Roy in this race but you don’t like gay people and have been herd always criticizing the homosexual community, I wonder why, does that not align well with your MAGA beliefs. 

Pedro, as a person that has known you for years, I wouldn’t be writing this not knowing what I’m talking about, seeing you throughout school skipping by and squeezing in sticky situations is what you are good at and it seems as if you are trying to pulloff your scheme once again. People need to know the truth, you are a flat out look you in the face liar that comes back and jokes around till you get on someone’s good side again, along with that your a great deceiver of the truth, something our citizens do not deserve.

  1. Come on Jim, you know exactly who wrote both of these pieces. I only get to vote in the At Large race and will be voting a blank ballot. Suggesting Pedro is homophobic when the author of both these pieces is known for his homophobia is laughable. No reader who knows the regulars on social media will believe anything in either post. The same old global accusation without specifics smells of the same loser. An informed voter will be voting a blank ballot in both races. No matter how you look at it Brownsville loses.

  3. Pedro Cardenas is connected to don Jorge Cardenas, a mayor of Matamoros. Don Jorge Cardenas worked hard for the poor, welcomed everybody to his home and created a meeting zone for the people of Matamoros. This Pedro Cardenas could have been a loser, a criminal, a corrupt leader but he followed the steps of Don Jorge Cardenas. Pedro Cardenas is trying his best. Pedro Cardenas is not handsome and that is why he can lose the election. The gal he is running against is pretty and smart.

  4. This is a cover-up by the city. Pedro sold his district 4 house in March 2024 and then bought a house in district 2 (Palo Verde) where he got a homestead exemption (https://cameron.prodigycad.com/property-detail/53420) meaning he resides there (that's the only way to get one) and he registered to vote there too which means he was immediately disqualified from being on the commission.
    "Each such District Commissioner shall reside in the district from which elected and shall also have the qualifications of electors therein."

    "Any elected officer, appointed managerial officer, or managerial employee of the city who shall cease to possess any of the qualifications herein required shall forthwith **forfeit his office** ."

    1. The real question is, if all this is true, then why is Zamora not seeking his removal? Answer she probably has more to hide than Cardenas/

    2. That's easy. A challenge takes to long. It took 3 1/2 years for Marisa Leal to work her challenge through the courts. https://myrgv.com/local-news/2024/05/15/marisa-leal-sworn-in-to-seat-on-brownsville-isd-board-of-trustees/

    3. A better question is why the city commission hasn't removed Cardenas already. They have the power to do it.

  5. 7, He owes the state and city $38299.91 in taxes. https://cameron.tx.publicsearch.us/doc/197482180
    How can we have a commissioner that can't even pay his taxes to the city?

  6. With that said, how can we vote for someone who is not fiscally responsible for their own home, family and self. How can we behold trust in a public official with our tax payer money when they can’t even keep themselves together. I won’t kid you, I voted for Pedro the first time around, but now I’m going to change that, I’m going with Daisy. Pedro I’ve known you for years but that’s just too much my friend, straighten yourself out, losing this election could be a blessing for you. I’m a man of virtues and one of my virtues is “we must take care of our house”, Pedro it appears you aren’t. Fix your family, fix your finances, then worry about the community when you have realigned your life.
