Alyssa Cigarroa

Nonpartisan
Mayor of Laredo · Laredo, Texas, United States of America · 2026
PurposeAlyssa Cigarroa is a two-term Laredo city council member from District 8 running for mayor in 2026 on promises of stronger emergency preparedness, expanded housing options, and tighter fiscal oversight of city hall.

Governance
Cigarroa's central pitch is that city hall reacts to emergencies instead of planning for them, and she has pledged to put formal crisis-preparedness planning in place before disaster strikes rather than after. She has also promised to oppose any future pay raises for elected officials unless the community is consulted first, presenting it as a test of accountability to voters. She has pointed to her own six years on the council, during which she has directed her entire council salary to community causes, as evidence of that commitment.

Infrastructure
Housing is another plank of her platform: Cigarroa has said the city needs to do more to address housing availability and support new development to meet demand, though she has not yet detailed a specific program for doing so.
