City of Brownsville Proposition D (Charter Amendment: Mayor and City Commissioner Compensation)
What does this measure do?
Opposes: Government Spending Reduction
Brownsville would raise the mayor's salary from $40,000 to $62,500 and each city commissioner's from $25,000 to $50,000, but only for people first elected after the change takes effect. Taxpayers would pay more for future officials' salaries; current officeholders would not get the raise.
Proposed by: Brownsville City Commission (ordinance calling the Nov. 3, 2026 charter election)
The city's elected commission passed a city law (ordinance) calling the vote on changes to the city charter, the city's rulebook. Commissioners said their vote only lets voters decide each item.
