McALLEN, Texas — City officials and marathon organizers announced details of the 13th annual McAllen Marathon Scott Crane Run during a press conference, presenting the event as both a major regional race and a lasting tribute to former city commissioner Scott Crane. The marathon, presented by H-E-B Helping Here, is scheduled to take place Saturday, January 17, 2026, and is expected to draw thousands of runners and spectators to McAllen. All races will start and finish at the McAllen Convention Center, located at 700 Convention Center Boulevard, with a start time of 7:00 a.m.

Organizers described the marathon as the official launch of the city’s annual activity calendar and a centerpiece of McAllen’s efforts to promote health and wellness. Since its inaugural race in 2013, the event has grown from a local run into one of South Texas’ most recognized running events, attracting participants from more than 17 states and three countries. The course is USATF certified and serves as an official Boston Marathon qualifier, a distinction organizers say continues to draw runners from across the region and beyond.
Irma Chapa, the city’s director of communications, opened the press conference by saying, “The McAllen Marathon is also deeply personal for our city and for our employees,” Chapa said. “It proudly carries the name of Scott Crane, a beloved three-year term city commissioner and local business owner who believes strongly in improving the quality of life for our residents.” She said Crane was a champion for parks, trails, and community fitness, and that his passion for running helped shape the marathon into what it has become.
Crane’s legacy is further marked by the circumstances of his death. An avid runner, Crane was 50 years old when he complained of feeling unwell during a race and did not finish. He returned home, later collapsed, and was rushed to the hospital at 11 a.m., where he was pronounced dead at 12:55 p.m. His death shocked city leaders and marathon organizers, who believed he was in excellent health.

City Manager Isaac Tawil said the marathon was designed to be inclusive, with race options available for runners and walkers of all abilities. Distances include a full marathon, a half marathon, a relay marathon, a 10K, a 5K, and the Kids Final Mile. “The McAllen Marathon supports and encourages people of all ages and abilities to get outside, be active, and adopt a healthy lifestyle,” Tawil said. He also encouraged residents to attend as spectators, adding, “It is one of the most fun things you can do on a morning, and it really helps the runners in a true test of endurance.”
Judge Randy Crane, Scott Crane’s brother, spoke about the origins and mission of the event, noting that the marathon began as his brother’s vision for a marquee wellness event for the city. “This started 13 years ago,” he said, adding that the marathon was renamed in Scott Crane’s honor in 2015 following his death. He credited strong community support for the expansion of the event and emphasized its focus on long-term wellness. “This is all about wellness in the community,” Judge Crane said.
Registration for the marathon remains open through January 16, 2026, at mcallenmarathon.com. Registration fees range from $35 for the 5K to $120 for the full marathon, with the 10K race already sold out. All registered participants will receive a race shirt, finisher medal, and swag bag.
Race weekend activities begin Friday, January 16, with the McAllen Marathon Health and Wellness Expo from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the McAllen Convention Center Exhibit Hall, where runners can pick up packets and visit health and fitness vendors. Following the race on Saturday, runners and spectators are invited to the EXTRA Mile Post Race Celebration at Oval Park, featuring food, wellness vendors, and family-friendly activities.
Speakers throughout the press conference returned to the theme of legacy, describing the marathon as both a celebration of growth and a remembrance of Scott Crane’s dedication to public service and healthy living.

A virtual press conference held on January 14, 2026, brought together a U.S. congressman and the mayor of Laredo, Texas, to discuss how federal policies on border security, immigration, trade, healthcare, and funding are affecting border communities. The event was held online and featured remarks in both English and Spanish.
The speakers were Congressman Henry Cuellar, who represents a South Texas border district, and Laredo Mayor Dr. Victor D. Treviño. Both emphasized that border security, commerce, and quality of life are closely connected and must be addressed together.
“One of the most important things that we have to focus on is that commerce, border security, and quality of life are all intertwined,” Treviño said. “We live and work at the border, so we have firsthand experience of what the challenges are, and we understand that there has to be border security in order for commerce to be successful.”
Treviño noted that Laredo is the largest inland port of entry in the Western Hemisphere, giving the city a national responsibility to keep trade moving while maintaining security. He said that focusing solely on security, without considering economic and community impacts, creates serious problems for residents and businesses.
Cuellar said border residents support strong border security but want it to be reasonable and effective. He argued that policy decisions in Washington often fail to reflect how the border actually functions.
“They really don’t understand the border the way we operate the border, so we’ve got to find balance there at that place,” Cuellar said.
Cuellar explained that border crossings have declined due to policy enforcement, not physical barriers. “What you’ve got to have is repercussions at the border,” he said. “Whoever is supposed to come in comes in. Whoever is not supposed to come in should be returned.”
Both leaders raised concerns about stepped-up Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions at job sites. Cuellar said enforcement efforts have expanded beyond criminals and are now targeting long-time workers with no criminal records, particularly in the construction industry.
“The problem is now they’re doing the ICE raids where they’re not only going after criminals,” Cuellar said. “They’re going after good people that have been around for years, are working, don’t have criminal records.”
He said these actions are creating fear and disrupting the local economy, delaying construction projects, and affecting businesses. Cuellar said he has been in contact with builders across South Texas and has spoken directly with ICE leadership.
“If they want to get rid of criminals, that’s one thing,” he said. “But when they start going after work sites, that has an impact on our economy.”
Both speakers said there is a need for legal work pathways for undocumented workers in essential industries. Cuellar said he supports improving work visa programs so people can work legally without fear.
Tariffs were another major topic. Treviño said tariffs act as a tax on consumers and raise prices on everyday goods.
“These tariffs represent a tax,” Treviño said. “When goods are taxed, the price goes up, and that price is paid by the consumer.”
He said tariffs have created uncertainty in international trade, making businesses hesitant to invest and affecting jobs. Cuellar added that trade and tariffs are the responsibility of Congress, not the executive branch.
“We saw what happened in the 1930s when they added tariffs,” Cuellar said. “The U.S. didn’t do very well.”
Cuellar also criticized the administration for cutting federally funded programs that had already been approved by Congress, including funding for DWI courts and mental health programs.
“Appropriations are done by the U.S. Congress,” he said. “They’re allowing the administration to cut certain things that they cannot do legally.”
Healthcare was another major concern. Treviño warned that failing to extend the Affordable Care Act would leave thousands of Laredo residents without insurance.
“The more people that are underinsured or non-insured wind up in the emergency rooms,” Treviño said. “In the long run, everybody loses.”
Cuellar said lawmakers are working to extend the Affordable Care Act, noting clinics are worried about the impact if coverage expires.
Throughout the conference, both leaders emphasized the need for balanced policies that reflect conditions on the ground.
“We want security, but at the same time we want commerce,” Cuellar said. “And we want people to be able to work and contribute to the economy.”

Frequently complex in nature, brain and spinal cord injuries and illnesses require specialized care for a patient’s successful recovery.
A relatively recent innovation in modern medicine, a neurological intensive care unit (neuro ICU) allows highly trained physicians and staff to provide specialized expertise, including neuroprotective care, to patients requiring round-the-clock medical attention.
Recognizing the importance of a neuro ICU to support the hundreds of patients admitted to its Comprehensive Stroke Center, STHS McAllen launched its own unit in December 2025, following a $12 million renovation project.

AUSTIN – Under the leadership of Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Office of the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (“MFCU”) yet again delivered exceptional results in 2025 by recovering more than $125 million for the State of Texas and securing 123 arrests and 180 indictments related to healthcare fraud.
“Anyone who thinks this is the criminal-loving state of Minnesota better think again. In Texas, we will bring the hammer down on fraudsters. In 2025 alone, my office recovered over $125 million in healthcare fraud through strong program-integrity safeguards, close coordination with our law enforcement partners, and proactive enforcement actions that ensure fraud is identified early and prosecuted aggressively,” said Attorney General Paxton. “We are driven by the responsibility to ensure that hardworking Texans’ taxpayer dollars are not wasted, abused, or stolen.”
In June of 2025, Attorney General Paxton’s MFCU played a major role in the largest health care fraud enforcement action in American history, which resulted in criminal charges against 30 defendants connected to more than a dozen fraudulent health care schemes in Texas. The schemes collectively accounted for more than $177 million in fraudulent billings nationally, $1.7 million in illegal kickbacks, and the unlawful diversion of over 10 million opioid pills.
Since 2020, the MFCU has recovered more than $1 billion in settlements, judgments, and restitution for Texas taxpayers. The MFCU receives 75 percent of its funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under a grant award totaling $22,792,664 for fiscal year 2024. The remaining 25 percent, totaling $7,597,553, is funded by the State of Texas. Over the last 5 years, the OAG’s MFCU has achieved an extraordinary return on investment for Texas taxpayers.

ALAMO – A Hidalgo County judge has convicted Eric Gonzalo Hernandez, 42, of Alamo, Texas, of murder and sentenced him to 40 years in prison in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred in Alamo in 2022.
On March 5, 2022, the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of a shooting in Alamo. Upon arrival, deputies found an unresponsive male victim suffering from two gunshot wounds. The victim, Javier Cruz, was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
Family members who were present at the scene identified Hernandez as the individual who fired multiple rounds at the victim. Hernandez fled the scene following the shooting and was later apprehended in Mission, Texas.
The case was heard in the 92nd District Court of Hidalgo County with Judge Luis Singleterry presiding. After a jury was selected, Hernandez entered a guilty plea on November 10, 2025. On January 14, 2026, the court sentenced Hernandez to 40 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
“Mr. Hernandez deserves every bit of this 40-year sentence for the senseless and cold-blooded murder he committed,” said Hidalgo County District Attorney Toribio “Terry” Palacios. “We hope this sentence brings a measure of closure to the victim’s family and serves as a reminder that our office will seek the maximum penalties allowed by law for those who commit violent crimes in Hidalgo County.”
The charge resulted from an investigation conducted by the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office.
Chief Assistant Criminal District Attorney Hope Palacios, of the Major Crimes Division, prosecuted the case.

McALLEN, Texas – Felida Villarreal, president and CEO of Valley Initiative for Development and Advancement (VIDA), today announced her candidacy for McAllen City Commissioner District 5, pledging to bring her proven leadership experience, financial expertise, and deep community roots to city government.
VIDA, a nonprofit workforce development organization founded in 1995, helps Rio Grande Valley residents overcome barriers to education and employment through comprehensive support services, tuition assistance, and career training. The organization’s mission of “Educating One Life at a Time” has transformed thousands of lives by creating pathways to economic mobility for underserved communities.

“Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in my commitment to serve the community I love,” said Villarreal. “As someone born and raised right here in McAllen who attended Cathey Middle School and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Academy before graduating from Sharyland High School, I’ve experienced our city’s growth firsthand. I was proud to be part of the last graduating class of UTPA in 2014 before returning to earn my master’s degree in accountancy at UTRGV—all while remaining rooted in this community. Now, as I am raising my eight-year-old daughter in this wonderful city, I’m running for city commissioner to offer a fresh perspective and collaborative leadership to our local government. Mi compromiso es con nuestra comunidad y su futuro próspero.” [My commitment is to our community and its prosperous future.]
Villarreal’s passion for service extends beyond her professional role. She currently serves on the board of the Hispanic Women’s Network of Texas – RGV Chapter and was recently appointed as a RioPlex ambassador, working closely with Hidalgo County Judge Richard Cortez and community leadership to enhance economic prosperity for the region.
“Public service has always been at the core of who I am,” Villarreal explained. “Whether through my work at VIDA, volunteering, or board service, I’ve dedicated myself to creating opportunities for our community to thrive. In my nonprofit role, I have the opportunity to work directly with our most vulnerable populations, which has given me a deep understanding of the real challenges our residents face. I’ve learned that effective leadership begins with listening– trulyhearing people’s concerns, understanding their aspirations, and then working collaboratively to find practical solutions that improve lives. This community-centered perspective is what I will bring to the McAllen City Commission.”
“McAllen deserves leadership that blends fresh perspective with heart,” Villarreal said. “While I’m proud of my work in financial management and workforce development, what truly drives me is creating a thriving community where my daughter and all our children can build their futures— because when you live in McAllen, every City decision directly shapes the community we all call home.”
Villarreal is committed to advancing five key priorities:
Economic Development: As your commissioner, I’ll leverage my workforce development background to continue attracting quality jobs and support small businesses throughout District 5’s diverse economic landscape. From the innovative Mercado District, with its 200+ spaces for entrepreneurs, to the established commercial corridors along 10th Street, the dynamic Downtown McAllen business district, and the emerging business zones throughout our area— each represents vital economic engines that deserve targeted support.
Infrastructure Investment: District 5 faces unique infrastructure challenges, with some of McAllen’s busiest streets, including 10th Street, Bicentennial Boulevard, 23rd Street, Nolana Avenue, and more. “I’ll prioritize smart traffic management solutions, pedestrian safety improvements, and continued investment in our roads and recreational assets to ensure our infrastructure serves both residents and businesses effectively while keeping our neighborhoods family friendly and thriving,” said Villarreal.
Public Safety: District 5 benefits from strong police and fire departments, and I’ll work to enhance these partnerships even further. I’ll support our first responders with continued investment in resources and training while creating more opportunities for community connection through regular forums. My focus is on maintaining our district’s safety standards while building stronger relationships between residents and the professionals who serve us.
Fiscal Responsibility: As a CPA with proven experience managing multi-million-dollar budgets and federal grants, I bring specialized financial accountability and transparent stewardship of resources to our city’s already sound fiscal management. My commitment is to strategically invest in our district’s infrastructure and services.
Community Engagement: I’ll establish regular neighborhood meetings throughout District 5, including dedicated forums for business owners and residential neighborhoods, ensuring all residents’ voices directly inform city decisions. District 5 encompasses diverse communities, each contributing to our area’s unique character and economic strength. As commissioner, I’ll create intentional pathways for residents, business owners, and community leaders to collaborate on a shared vision that honors our district’s diversity while building our collective future.
This January 2026, Texas Border Business invites readers to go beyond the headlines and into the story behind one of South Texas’s most talked-about emerging leaders. Inside this issue, we present an exclusive, in-depth profile of Victor “Seby” Haddad— written not as a campaign pitch, but as a clear look at the experience, preparation, and perspective shaping his run for Texas House District 41.
Seby’s story is rooted in leadership long before he decides to seek public office. Raised around the realities of finance, technology, and civic responsibility, and shaped by years of involvement in local government and regional initiatives, his path reflects a steady build of real-world experience. This feature explores how that foundation informs his approach to problem-solving, accountability, and service to the community.
District 41 is one of the fastest growing and most complex regions in South Texas, encompassing parts of McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, and surrounding communities. Growth has brought opportunity— but also challenges in infrastructure, flooding, education, healthcare, affordability, and public safety. In these pages, readers will gain insight into how Seby views these pressures and why he believes practical, prepared leadership matters now more than ever.
Through direct quotes and detailed context, the story examines the issues most important to residents, from flood control and economic development to property taxes, workforce readiness, and border policy. Rather than broad promises, Seby speaks to lessons learned, results delivered, and how those experiences translate to state-level service. The emphasis is on how policy decisions affect families, businesses, and communities across the Rio Grande Valley.
We invite our readers to take the time to read, learn, and form their own understanding of Seby Haddad— his background, his approach, and his vision for South Texas. This January issue offers more than a profile; it provides a perspective on leadership at a critical crossroads for District 41. Turn the page and discover the story inside.
Seby is running for Texas State Representative for District 41 with a message centered on preparation, practicality, and public service. Seby presents his candidacy as a continuation of work already done in the community, shaped by years of involvement in local government, economic development, community engagement, and regional leadership. His decision to run, he explains, comes from seeing firsthand where state government can better support South Texas and believing his experience and trusted relationships equip him to deliver results.

That experience is deeply informed by a family legacy of leadership and execution, particularly through his father, Seby, whose career spans nearly two decades in community banking, small business, technology, and civic leadership. As Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer at Lone Star National Bank, Victor Haddad oversees a team which manages a $1.7 billion lending portfolio and lends out hundreds of millions of dollars of capital to small businesses and consumers a year. His work has blended financial stewardship with operational discipline, technology project management, and public service, setting a clear example of leadership rooted in accountability and measurable outcomes. Seby points to this foundation as formative. It shaped his understanding that leadership is not about promises, but about preparation and follow-through.
District 41 sits entirely within Hidalgo County and includes parts of McAllen, Edinburg, Pharr, Mission, and Palmhurst. Home to roughly 188,000 residents, the district is one of the most densely populated in South Texas and among the fastest growing. District 41 is the urban core of Hidalgo County and the area Seby has strongly represented and is most familiar with given his tenure on the McAllen City Commission and business roots. With that growth has come pressure on infrastructure, schools, healthcare systems, and housing affordability. Seby frames his campaign around these realities, arguing that state policy must better align with the day-to-day challenges that cities and families face.
Flood control and infrastructure are central concerns. District 41 has experienced repeated but reduced flooding, and Seby draws directly from his work in McAllen, where the city prioritized more than $500 million in drainage and infrastructure projects over the last six years. “To get the state to participate, you need to be ready to contribute and have projects shovel-ready,” Haddad said. He plans to work with cities and Hidalgo County to identify priority projects and pursue funding through the Flood Infrastructure Fund, the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, and other state sources. “I understand what both sides are looking for when choosing projects and approving funding,” he said.
Economic development and job creation form another pillar of his platform. As a current community banker and longtime small business owner, Haddad emphasizes that he has operated on both sides of the table. “I know what it requires to make payroll, manage costs, deal in a competitive landscape, and operate in all types of economic conditions,” he said. He points to expanded partnerships with UTRGV, Texas A&M, and South Texas College to strengthen workforce training and keep education affordable. His experience working with farmers, contractors, physicians, engineers, retailers, manufacturers, and all types of small businesses informs his view that access to capital and practical workforce pipelines are essential to sustaining growth. Seby also believes industry has an obligation to pay living wages and create pathways for better paying jobs.
Property taxes and affordability remain top-of-mind for many residents. Haddad highlights McAllen’s record of reducing the property tax rate for four consecutive years and maintaining some of the lowest utility rates in Texas for a city its size. At the state level, he supports reforms focused on appraisal practices, assessment stability, and increased state funding for public education. “The State needs to demand more efficiency while also creating stability on property taxes,” he said, adding that Texas ranks near the bottom nationally in per-student funding. “Property tax reform should be a bipartisan issue.” If the State contributed more to public education, it would reduce the burden of property tax on property owners while generating greater outcomes of quality in our schools; it’s a win for all.
Education and healthcare are closely linked in Seby’s view of long-term opportunity. He argues that underfunded schools limit workforce readiness and economic mobility, while gaps in healthcare strain families and employers. Seby supports raising per-student funding to at least the national average, expanding nursing and trade programs, and strengthening partnerships between school districts and higher education institutions. On healthcare, he has called the issue “one of the region’s greatest needs,” noting shortages of hundreds of nurses and ongoing coverage gaps. “We must also expand Medicaid to help cover the demographic of our region,” he said, while continuing to support clinics, nonprofits, and mental health services.
Seby’s views on government accountability are shaped by his role in championing term limits in McAllen, which voters approved by an overwhelming margin. “The needs of the people always come first, over power and comfort,” he said. He advocates for transparency through regular reporting, public workshops, and town halls, arguing that accountability builds trust and better outcomes.
Regionally, Seby brings experience as President of Texas Municipal League Region 12 and as a state-level director within the organization. He describes the network built through those roles as critical to effective advocacy. “At the Capitol, a goal will sometimes require some added support,” he said. “The trusted individuals from this network will be a resource and help ensure I am an effective legislator.” Seby is also a trusted executive board member of the Foreign Trade Zone, sits as Vice President of the Development Corp of McAllen, and sits on the McAllen Chamber and International Museum of Arts & Science Boards.
That results-driven style is reflected in the endorsements he has received from sitting state lawmakers across South Texas, including Bobby Guerra, Terry Canales, Sergio Muñoz, Oscar Longoria, and Armando Martinez. Seby views these endorsements not as the story, but as confirmation of trust earned through results. “I take a common-sense approach, I remain accessible, and I welcome anyone willing to focus on solutions,” he said.
As the race for District 41 unfolds, Seby is positioning himself as a candidate shaped by experience, trust, and proven leadership. His campaign emphasizes preparation, fiscal responsibility, and regional cooperation, grounded in a clear understanding of how policy decisions affect real communities. In a district defined by growth and complexity, Seby argues that steady, informed leadership is not just preferred but necessary.
