Omar Quintanilla, current McAllen City Commissioner District 3, is pleased to announce his bid for re-election to his seat in the upcoming May 2021 election. Quintanilla, 45, has been serving the residents of District 3 since May 2017. He has been a strong advocate of issues relating to improving drainage, beautifying, and creating safer neighborhoods, small business assistance, and economic development opportunities. He seeks re-election so he can meet his progressive agenda for the benefit of District 3 and the City of McAllen.
Quintanilla is a Senior Vice President of Corporate Banking at Frost Bank, a local bank committed to serving its communities. His past experience serving on the McAllen Community Development Block Grant Advisory board, among others has assisted him in gaining insights into effective delivery of funds or services to meet the strong needs in McAllen.
Additionally, as a board member of the McAllen Chamber of Commerce, he’s provided leadership in promoting small businesses in McAllen and was a driving force in providing much needed assistance for small businesses to sustain operations during the Covid19 pandemic.
In his first term, Quintanilla supported:
- Drainage projects in District 3 and throughout McAllen to reduce flooding
- Creation of parks and walking trails for health and wellness
- Small business grants to support local business that have been hurt by the pandemic
- Wifi access so that students can remain connected and residents can stay productive
- Improving safety in our neighborhoods and throughout the District
Quintanilla will continue to bring his skills in finance to the table which has proven invaluable in the development of assistance for businesses in McAllen as well as during the City budgeting process.
In an effort to connect with his District, Quintanilla will maintain strong accessibility for citizens and communicate both through regular “Town Hall” meetings in the District and any other means needed.
