On May 21, 2020, the United States Department of Justice announced that both Calexico City

Councilman and Mayor pro tem David Romero, along with Bruno Suarez-Soto, a commissioner
on the City’s Economic Development and Financial Advisory Commission, were charged in
federal court with accepting cash bribes of $35,000 in exchange for promises for cannabis
licenses issued by City of Calexico.
As of June 03, 2020, Councilman David Romero has not resigned and he is still collecting his monthly stipend and benefits from the taxpayers.
We, the residents of Calexico can’t t trust David Romero as an elected official when he is truly
engaged in bribery for special favors.
