Dr. Acevedo’s dissertation was a case study of school closures that occurred at EPISD in 2019. Before being elected to the El Paso City Council, Dr. Acevedo served on the El Paso Independent School District Board of Trustees from 2019 to 2024. While on the Board of Trustees, he hired the first female and Latina superintendent in the district’s 140-year history.

In recent history, the unimaginable happened. A racist gunman came into El Paso to massacre people because of the color of their skin. This horrific day will always be ingrained in our memories.

Our community came together, in many ways, to lend a helping hand - because that is what we have always done. El Paso is a resillient community, always will be, and we fight hate with love.

My heart is with the 23 victims of this attack, the dozens that were injured, and all affected families.

Read Representative Acevedo’s full statement on the recent news that Blackrock will be joining as 80% owner of the Meta Hyperscale Data Center in Northeast El Paso

07/29/2026

Meta and Blackrock are teaming up to bring their Hyperscale Data Center to El Paso along with the air pollution, noise pollution, heat, water use, and electricity use that comes with it. And us, the taxpaying, hardworking El Pasoans are paying for it. Bottom line is Meta continues to take advantage of our community because they know they can.

I was proud to sponsor a proclamation recognizing Pride Month 2026.

Every June, communities across the nation celebrate LGBTIA+ Pride Month, honoring the history, resilience, and contributions of le***an, gay, bisexual, transgender, q***r, intersex, asexual, Two-Spirit, and allied individuals.

The LGBTQIA+ community in El Paso has enriched our city through their activism, leadership, artistry, caregiving, service, and everyday presence, shaping a Borderland that is more inclusive, compassionate, and vibrant.

It is paramount that we continue to honor and recognize the LGBTQIA+ community not only during Pride Month, but every day and express gratitude to the organizations, families, leaders, and everyday people who continue to advance justice, visibility, healing, and joy for all.
