\u201cI am Mexican American and I am proud of my heritage. I also strongly believe that it is important to have diversity in the Council,\u201d Cervantes said. In the Council there are a lot of people of different backgrounds, but Bob Cervantes is the only Hispanic Alderman. On recent history he is the third person of Hispanic background to be Alderman in the Council of Silvis.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that during these years in my position I did a lot of good things,\u201d the Alderman says. \u201cFor example, we brought new development to the area and I worked well with the former Aldermen and Mayor. These have been a rewarding 12 years for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bob Cervantes assures that thanks to this position he feels that he is making a difference and even though his wife of 33 years does not really want him to continue with his political career, he knows how to convince her to let him run for reelection.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the future plans of Alderman Bob Cervantes, he hopes to run for mayor of Silvis one day, but before this happens he will continue enjoying his position as Alderman making a difference for all the Silvis residents.<\/p>
