City of Brownsville Proposition B (Charter Amendment: Moral Turpitude Determination for Non-Felony Convictions)
What does this measure do?
Supports: Anti-Corruption
If Brownsville's mayor or a commissioner is convicted of a mid-level crime, more than a minor ticket but less than a felony, a court would decide whether it involved serious dishonesty, and if so, the city must hold a recall election. Voters would get a recall vote without gathering petitions.
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.

A YES vote means
A mid-level criminal conviction leads to a court review. If the judge finds serious dishonesty or wrongdoing, voters get a recall election without residents having to collect signatures.
A NO vote means
Removing an official convicted of such a crime still takes a recall petition signed by voters, and no court review happens automatically.
No financial records found for this ballot measure.
