In Puerto Aventuras, the race for the mayoral seat is intensifying as community leader Damaris Ortega officially registers her candidacy. Ortega, a 36-year-old hospitality worker and mother of three, has resided in the area for 14 years.
She emphasizes the urgent need to address deficiencies in public services, education, and healthcare, noting that the community lacks essential amenities such as adequate medical facilities and educational institutions.
Ortega’s campaign focuses on tangible improvements, including the construction of an IMSS hospital and the establishment of two schools—one for basic education and another at the high school level—to accommodate the growing population.
She criticizes the current administration under Mayor Gilberto Gómez Martínez, accusing it of unfulfilled promises and insufficient action to meet residents’ needs. Ortega asserts that previous authorities have “promised much and delivered little,” leaving Puerto Aventuras without the basic services necessary for development.
The upcoming election, scheduled for mid-December, marks a significant moment for Puerto Aventuras, as residents will have the opportunity to elect a leadership committed to addressing longstanding community issues. Ortega’s candidacy represents a call for change and a dedication to fulfilling the community’s essential requirements.
This election is pivotal for Puerto Aventuras, as it reflects the community’s growing political engagement and desire for self-governance. The outcome will significantly influence the town’s development trajectory and its pursuit of municipal independence.
