San Marcos Mayor Guerrero Will Not Endeavor A Fourth Term

By, Bri Watkins

As the municipal elections for mayor quickly approach, San Marcos Mayor Daniel Guerrero has announced he will not seek a fourth term for November 2016.

Guerrero, who was originally elected in 2010, has directed the city toward improvement after the destructive May and October floods, managed growth in San Marcos, protected the environment and built notable partnerships within the community.

“Building effective partnerships with neighborhood groups, community organizations, business and industry, the school district, the university and all levels of government has been a big part of my focus,” Guerrero said in a written statement.

Council Member John Thomaides, Place 3, has officially announced his candidacy for mayor.

“I’ve had the unique opportunity to serve this community on City Council, and I am fully ready to assume the role of Mayor on day one. I will bring a fresh perspective while maintaining a steady hand in leading our city forward as Mayor,” Thomaides said in a written statement.

Filing for a position in the elections will begin July 23, but the first day to submit an application will be July 25 due to office closure.
