“The ability to look past race and ethnicity, says Reynaldo Mesa, a city commissioner and former mayor of Garden City, is one of the city’s strong points.

“That’s what’s great about Garden City,” said Mesa, one of five Hispanics who has served as mayor in the city since the 1970s. “We have great people across the board. They look beyond race.”"
