Daniel Moreno received the vote for Big Spring City Council District 6 with 109 votes. His competitor Steven “Boatie” Boatenhamer received 98. Moreno is a young 30-year-old who has run for city council twice prior, and hasn’t let past failures stop him. He says he wants voters to know that he works hard in anything and everything he does.
“I just want people to know that in anything, I have never given up. I’m going to do the best that I can for not only my constituents, but Big Spring as well,” Moreno said. “I have lived here almost all my life. I want to be the best representation of not only Big Spring, but Jesus as well, and bring light to people.” Moreno said he wants to see Big Spring fire and police departments become fully staffed and bring new ideas to the council.
