“As I register as a candidate, it will be an honor to serve one full term as your City of Eagle Pass Councilwoman. We continue to work on what we have started. I humbly ask for your support and vote in the upcoming election. These are exciting times for Eagle Pass and we must seize on the opportunities for growth,” said Councilwoman Hernandez.

Councilwoman Hernandez is an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Texas. She previously served as a teacher with the local public school district for many years before graduating from law school and becoming licensed to practice law.
