Accompanied by her husband and child, the mayor expressed gratitude towards her cabinet members and outlined her administration’s accomplishments, categorizing them under infrastructure, economy, honesty, wellbeing, and security.

This event marks the formal beginning of the transition to the next mayor, Ismael Burgueño Ruíz, who will officially take office on September 30th. Caballero reassured the public that the administration remains committed to serving Tijuana residents until the very end, stating, “We are still working for Tijuana’s citizens; the movement is still alive.”
