The former general secretary of the Santo Domingo City Council has formally announced his aspirations to run for mayor of the National District. The current mayor is Roberto Salcedo. Contreras was in charge of environmental policies at the city government.
To receive the nomination, he needs to secure the support of 4,500 PLD committee chairs.
Contreras proposes to introduce a series of measures including citizen education programs, traffic reorganization, recycling to reorganize garbage disposal, authorization for municipal leaders to monitor the city, and the creation of Green Fund. He believes that Santo Domingo has the potential to become a major tourism destination.
