During his time in Weslaco, Martin has been a leader within the local library community, and he has seen the Mayor Joe V. Sanchez Public Library grow. Through his work, the library secured a state-of-the-art computer network infrastructure, technology grants, and free public high-speed internet access, to name a few.
