New Calexico Mayor Outlines Priorities for the City

CALEXICO, Calif. (KYMA) - Calexico’s new mayor says he’s excited to step into the role and focus on moving the city forward.

Victor Legaspi says his top priority is public safety, which he believes is key to building trust and encouraging growth in the community.

“The priority is obviously safety, safety for our citizens of Calexico,” Legaspi said. “If you don’t have that, then you’re not going to have businesses coming in.”

Legaspi also says improving infrastructure is a major focus, pointing to ongoing and planned street projects throughout the city.

The new mayor says he wants to take a hands-on approach to leadership and stay connected with residents.

“I believe in boots on the ground,” Legaspi said. “I believe in going out there and working hand in hand with the public..not behind my desk.”

A lifelong Calexico resident, Legaspi says his goal is to build on past progress while staying accessible to the community.
