Candidates hold meet and greet in Calexico

CALEXICO, Calif. (KYMA) - Candidates held a meet and greet in Calexico to present their proposals to city residents.

Candidates running for Calexico City Council are Diana Nuricumbo and Alexis Rangel.

They were joined by Lorena Minor-Montes and Karla Flores, who are seeking to represents Districts 1 and 2 of the Imperial Valley Healthcare District.

The candidates shared their visions for the city and the community.

"We ended up doing these men and greets together because we felt the need in our community that our voices need to be heard," Flores shared. "We felt that we really don't have good representation in some of these areas, and together we will be a voice for our community, our our citizens of Calexico."

For the first time, residents will be able to elect their healthcare district representatives by electoral district.

In November, representatives for Districts 1, 2 and 3 will be elected to fill in those seats.
