Hernandez, Cano and Reyes elected WCID District 1 trustees<\/p>\n

Published 7:41 pm Saturday, May 2, 2026<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s final voting results proved to be a close race for Victoria County Water Control and Improvement District (WCID) No. 1 board of trustees.<\/p>\n

David A. Hernandez won the race with 314 votes or 24.14%, and will be joined on the board by Dennis Cano Jr. who received 305 votes (23.44%) and Jesse O. Reyes who received 275 votes (21.14%).<\/p>\n

Hernandez has extensive experience working with water and wastewater through his 10-year career of working at plants. He has also spent 11 years as a superintendent of maintenance in these fields. Reyes has nearly 30 years of experience as a foreman and site superintendent for chemical, nuclear co-generation industrial capital projects. Cano has extensive experience working for Victoria County.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith both of our experiences (mine and Cano\u2019s), we\u2019re pretty much prime candidates for this position,\u201d Hernandez said. \u201cI\u2019ve been licensed in the water and wastewater for over 20 years. We\u2019re just here to try and make a difference and bring Bloomington back into the green. They\u2019ve been in the negative for a long time financially, and we\u2019re just trying to do our best to maintain the water district and the infrastructure. We need to do a lot of improvements around here, and I think together we can get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other candidates fell short, including William Harvell with 116 votes (8.92%), Jonathon Sarkis with 110 votes (8.46%) and Cory Starnes with 105 votes (8.07%). Clay Stindt received 47 votes (3.61%), and Santos Estrada had 29 votes (2.23%).<\/p>\n

Voters in the race were allowed to select up to three candidates, with the top three vote-getters winning seats on the board.<\/p>\n
