El Paso uses a council-manager government, so day-to-day administration runs through an unelected city manager. The mayor's performance will be scored as shared, and labeled that way.

City outcome data (unemployment, crime, cost of living and more) is in the verification pipeline. We publish numbers only after they clear it. Methodology

El Paso sits in TX, whose governor Greg Abbott holds a scored statewide record (No. 15 of 29). State outcomes are not the mayor’s grade — a city is not a state — but they’re the nearest verified context today.
