Eric Cantu is ready to shake up District 3, bringing bold plans for safety, animal welfare, and community change to the Westside of Corpus Christi
KRIS 6 News neighborhood news reporter Naidy Escobar spoke to Cantu to find out what his plans are for the Westside,
Cantu leads the race against Alberto Carillo III, winning 70.13% (10, 225 votes).
Cantu said the Westside of town is often overlooked he hopes to make a difference in the next two years.
“I feel like District 3 has grown zero for crime, and it’s sad to say,” Cantu admitted.
At the top of his list, public safety is number one, as he understands the crime rate on the Westside. He tells KRIS 6 News that putting more officers on the streets will make a safer and better place for families and their community.
“ We need to do better, we need to get. more officers in our streets and more EMS and fire fighters and paramedics we need to be able to have great response times for our people,” he added.
He also said another top priporty he will be bringing to the table is — making Corpus Christi a no kill shelter. But to do all of this he knows he needs the help of his council members.
