Brenda Moses, Mayor

I was born and raised in Pittsburg, Texas, but we've lived in Goliad for over a decade now and absolutely love it. My husband Jason and I have six children along with our granddaughter Ava Mae Sas, and our grandson, Wesley Travis Warrick. Our youngest, Rose Marie, attends Goliad Middle School.  The amazing school system was a major factor in our desire to move here. We quickly fell in love with the charm and small town atmosphere.

 My love of this city runs deep, and the time I've spent serving and investing my time here has grown me immensely. I started my journey as our Utility Billing Clerk, then became the Finance Specialist soon after, and am currently employed with Margaret Fisseler, CPA. I served on Goliad City Council from 2015-2017. I have served as President of the Goliad Rotary Club, have coached in Goliad Little league, volunteered for the Zaragoza Society, and we participate in Ballet Folklorico de Goliad. I'm also excited to serve as Municipal Court Judge and the Emergency Management Coordinator.

 As the Mayor of Goliad, my heart behind this role is that my experience as an employee, knowing how the city functions physically and financially, is that I can use that knowledge to help make proper decisions that better the lives of Goliad citizens. I look forward to meeting and serving all of you!

Lydia Flores, Mayor Pro Tem

I was born and raised in Goliad. I have a daughter, Liberty Grace, who is currently finishing out her sophomore year at Goliad High School. 

Currently, I am employed by Goliad ISD as a paraprofessional for the past 11 years. I absolutely love working for the school district in which I graduated from.

 I have just been re-elected for my second term as a City Councilwoman. I hope to continue to help Goliad strive to be a better city than it already is.

Robin Alaniz, Alderwoman

​ ​I am from Amarillo originally, but because of work (both my parent's and husband's) I have lived in Oklahoma, Kansas and back again to Texas. I also have had the opportunity to live in Argentina and Ecuador. I moved to Goliad in 2007 with my husband Ernest, after he decided to retire. I have been in Goliad longer than any place I had lived before. I consider Goliad home. I have 3 kids, all grown that live in Alice. I have 4 grandchildren. I graduated Montgomery County College in 1990 with an Associates Degree in Nursing. In nursing I have worked in hospitals, schools, research and home health. I currently work as a RN Consult for La Bahia Adult Daycare in Goliad.
