Thanks Coastal Bend Transparency for sharing results of our poll! The mandate is clear - Corpus Christi wants leaders who make decisions. Corpus Christi wants Inner Harbor. Corpus Christi wants WATER NOW!

The message couldn’t be clearer: 3 out of 4 voters support building the Inner Harbor Desalination Project.

This isn’t a close call. It’s a decisive mandate from the people of Corpus Christi.

The Inner Harbor project is THE ONLY PROJECT supported by by voters, permitted after years of environmental review, funding through existing financing and eligible for significant federal grant opportunities.

Corpus Christi has debated water for years. Voters are ready to move from debate to action. Every delay puts our water security, economy, and future at greater risk.

The people have spoken. It’s time for City Hall to listen.

Build Inner Harbor. Water NOW.

(According to a recent comprehensive poll of 860 likely November 2026 Corpus Christi voters conducted by Hunt Research, commissioned by the Coastal Bend Coalition)
