EAGLE PASS, TX — In a move that could cast a long shadow over the city’s mayoral race, candidate Aaron Valdez has filed a formal complaint with the Texas Secretary of State and the Texas Attorney General’s Office, raising concerns over potential voter residency violations involving individuals allegedly connected to rival candidate Monica J. Cruz.


According to Valdez, the complaint is based on findings that several individuals—who reportedly reside full-time in Piedras Negras, Mexico—may have voted in last month’s Eagle Pass municipal election.


The individuals in question are said to be registered at two addresses within city limits: one believed to be Cruz’s personal residence and the other her real estate office.


“I want to be clear—this is not about citizenship. This is about residency,” Valdez said in a public statement. “Local elections should be decided by the people who actually live here and are directly impacted by the decisions made at City Hall.”


Valdez argues that this situation is not only a potential violation of election law but also an injustice to many county residents who reside outside city limits. “It’s incredibly unfair,” Valdez said. “County voters who live just minutes outside the city are not allowed to vote in city elections, even though many of the city’s policies affect them. Yet individuals who reportedly live in another country are being allowed to cast ballots. That’s not right.”


The complaint urges state officials to launch a full investigation into whether Eagle Pass residency requirements were violated, emphasizing the need to protect the integrity of the electoral process. Valdez also expressed concern that the alleged voters could cast ballots again in the upcoming runoff election.


Adding to the seriousness of the allegations, some of the individuals reportedly hold trusted traveler status through U.S. Customs and Border Protection programs such as SENTRI and Global Entry—memberships that could be jeopardized if the accusations prove valid.


“This isn’t just about one election,” Valdez continued. “It’s about the credibility of our democratic system and the trust our residents place in it. Every legitimate vote should count—and only those with the legal right to vote should be allowed to do so.”


As of press time, Monica Cruz—who has run on a platform of transparency and ethical leadership—has not issued a public response to the complaint. The Maverick County Elections Office and local law enforcement have not confirmed whether any formal investigation is underway.


The Eagle Pass News Leader will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.

Valdez Presenta Denuncia Formal por Presuntas Irregularidades en el Registro de Votantes Ligadas a Monica Cruz


EAGLE PASS, TX — En un giro que podría marcar el rumbo de la contienda por la alcaldía, el candidato Aaron Valdez presentó una denuncia formal ante la Secretaría de Estado de Texas y la Oficina del Fiscal General del Estado, señalando posibles violaciones a los requisitos de residencia de votantes, supuestamente relacionadas con personas vinculadas a su oponente, Monica J. Cruz.


Según Valdez, la denuncia se basa en hallazgos recientes que indican que varias personas—quienes supuestamente residen de manera permanente en Piedras Negras, México—habrían votado en las elecciones municipales del mes pasado en Eagle Pass. Se afirma que estas personas están registradas con dos domicilios dentro de los límites de la ciudad: uno presuntamente corresponde a la residencia personal de Cruz y el otro a su oficina de bienes raíces.


“Quiero dejar algo muy claro: esto no se trata de ciudadanía, se trata de residencia,” dijo Valdez en un comunicado público. “Las elecciones locales deben ser decididas por quienes viven aquí y se ven directamente afectados por las decisiones que se toman en el gobierno municipal.”


Valdez argumenta que esta situación no solo representa una posible violación de las leyes electorales, sino también una injusticia hacia muchos residentes del condado que viven fuera de los límites de la ciudad. “Es sumamente injusto,” señaló. “Los votantes del condado que viven a solo minutos de la ciudad no pueden votar en las elecciones municipales, aunque las decisiones del ayuntamiento también los afectan. Sin embargo, personas que aparentemente viven en otro país están emitiendo votos. Eso no está bien.”


La denuncia solicita a las autoridades estatales una investigación exhaustiva para determinar si se violaron los requisitos de residencia, destacando la importancia de proteger la integridad del proceso electoral. Valdez también expresó su preocupación de que estas personas puedan votar nuevamente en la próxima elección de segunda vuelta.


Además, algunas de estas personas estarían inscritas en programas de viajeros confiables de la Oficina de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza de EE.UU., como SENTRI y Global Entry—membresías que podrían verse comprometidas si se confirman las acusaciones.


“Esto no se trata solo de una elección,” añadió Valdez. “Se trata de la credibilidad de nuestro sistema democrático y de la confianza que los ciudadanos depositan en él. Cada voto legítimo debe contar—y sólo deben votar quienes tienen el derecho legal de hacerlo.”


Hasta el momento de esta publicación, Monica Cruz—quien ha basado su campaña en la transparencia y la rendición de cuentas—no ha emitido una respuesta pública a la denuncia. La Oficina de Elecciones del Condado de Maverick y las autoridades locales no han confirmado si hay una investigación formal en curso.


Eagle Pass News Leader continuará dando seguimiento a esta situación y proporcionará actualizaciones conforme se obtenga nueva información o declaraciones oficiales.
