Mayor Guajardo Suspended by Corpus Christi Council | San Antonio News

Corpus Christi’s City Council made history Friday by voting to suspend Mayor Paulette Guajardo for 30 days — the first time in 174 years a mayor has faced such discipline — over a $2 million hotel deal tied to alleged fraud, perjury, and breach of confidentiality. Though the council couldn’t muster the five-vote supermajority needed to remove her from office, the four-to-two suspension vote follows weeks of testimony spurred by citizen petitions calling the situation “corruption.” Guajardo responded with gratitude to supporters, pledging to rebuild trust and focus on the city’s future.
