Corpus Christi voters -
- should rely upon facts to elect the best available candidate among the field. This Council Secrets edition spotlights Ms Sylvia Campos' recent behavior.
11.15.24 data point: Campos' campaign donations were 91% from outside Corpus Christi. The superPAC Texas Campaign for the Environment (TCE) is based in Austin, and funded via 501C3/501C4 corporations in California. TCE out-spent the Molina campaign 9 to 1 in getting Campos re-elected to the local city council. That's alot of outside influence on what should be our city council.
10.23.24 data point: Currently, there are no Campos yard signs on any of her neighbor lawns on the entire street - where as - three of Molina's next door neighbors have his signs in their yards. This is extremely revealing as to who these candidates really are.

Topic #1 - Sleepy Sylvia
Slept through portions of multiple city council meetings.
The 1st five months of city council's current term, Sylvia Campos' public behavior representing District Two was notated. As video evidence confirms, she frequently slept in these meetings - and during many complex, high-stakes, essential briefings by city employees regarding Roads, Water, Budget, Debt, Staffing. D2 residents/eyewitnesses, were embarrassed for their district. If a public official cannot focus and stay awake, should they resign? Voters deserve all information before choosing.

What are the odds?
The FIRST WEEK of Sylvia's term in power, HER OWN STREET IS FIRST TO GET REPAIRED, in the entire area. With over 4300 streets in our city, what are the odds Campos' own street gets repaired within 7 days of taking office. Reviewing 2022 road repair initiative report, Sylvia's street was not even on the list of most in need. Voters may feel, me-first behavior is not acceptable in Corpus Christi.

The DSA logo, lower right corner
Sylvia's true and clear political affiliation
Topic #3a - DSA's own website
"thank you for running...AS AN OPEN SOCIALIST. Congratulations! We are so proud of you Sylvia."
DSA = Democratic SOCIALISTS of America. Google the damage this national socialist group has had upon San Francisco CA and Austin TX by injecting extremist PAC money into local politics. Corpus does not embrace extremism.
Topic #3b - COMRADE CAMPOS
Active member of a nationwide SOCIALIST organization
Sylvia's own KEYWIKI internet page: self-selected term - "COMRADE"
Topic #3c - Her local Comrades
DSA, Corpus Christi chapter
Campos' clear political affiliation. Read their signage for yourself: "ICE equals Gestapo", "No Human is illegal", "Seeking Asylum is not illegal" - any person or group who compares the men & women guarding our US borders to the Nazi murders of millions of Jews, does reflect our middle class basic values. Our region has a massive problem with human-traffickers of young girls and transporters of Fentanyl. We need leaders who make choices for normal middle class folks.

This might be considered delusional, to believe California's homeless solution has "seemed to work." In the real world, when word got around TX that Corpus Christi was handing out $500 cash monthly direct to homeless; combine this with the fact that every felon released from TX prison gets a $100 GateCheck and bus voucher (TXcode501.015b.) Our current levels of addict-on-addict crime would skyrocket; an even greater flood of non-Corpus addicts would bus here; aggressive panhandling of our female tourists and elderly dog-walkers would soar past its current, already-too-high rate. Such extreme suggestions completely undermine City efforts to support our shelter-based organizations.
Campos' required, sworn-to financial disclosures stated she paid over six unnamed persons who resided at her personal residence, from campaign money - when actually she lived mostly alone. Sylvia's one paragraph response to the ethics complaint was in part: "PEOPLE ARE UNFORTUNATELY SCRUTINIZED."
In reaction, the Corpus Christi Ethics Commission voted unanimously to summon Campos and hold a hearing. Sylvia failed to show up, but high-power attorney John D. Bell appeared on her behalf: refiled/amended all her paperwork last minute, then convinced our volunteer Ethics Board into giving Sylvia a free pass.
Every public official must operate with full transparency, appear when summoned, and yes, be subjected to scrutiny when signed & sworn financial records are in error or fraudulant. If Campos mishandles reporting on a few thousand, can she be trusted to spend 1.4 billion of city tax dollars?
Reasearch note: The City Hall gatekeeper to all materials of the Ethics Committee is Mr. Kent McIlyar, an assistant City attorney. He can be reached at KentMc@cctexas.com. Freedom of Information Requests may be necessary to obtain the filed documents from him; He appears very protective of the status quo.
