A Vision for Gatesville
This is where our journey continues — and where our future takes shape.
Thank you for being here and for taking the time to learn about my vision for Gatesville. I believe strong communities are built through leadership that listens, communicates clearly, and serves with integrity.
After the 2024 election, my commitment to serve only deepened. I launched leocorona.net, a non-political website designed to connect residents with local events and community resources, because service to Gatesville should never be limited to election season.
In 2026, I will continue focusing on what matters most to our residents — transparency, accountability, and an open line of communication between city leadership and the people we serve.
Through consistent action and engagement, I have prepared myself to lead. I would be honored to earn your trust as your next Mayor.
About Leo Corona
My family and I were welcomed to Gatesville in 2012, and what began as a place to live quickly became our home. After retiring from a successful 20-year career in the United States Army in 2015, I continued serving our community as a resident, neighbor, and volunteer,
In 2025, I was honored to be named Gatesville Citizen of the Year by the Gatesville Chamber of Commerce—an honor I see as a reflection of the strong, service-oriented spirit that defines this community.
I am devoted to delivering personalized care and paying close attention to the details that shape our community. With a foundation built on quality and integrity, my goal is to ensure that everything we do reflects our shared dedication to excellence.
With your support, Gatesville can continue moving forward in a positive and meaningful way. This isn’t about politics—it’s about people, purpose, and progress. Together, we have the power to build a brighter, stronger future for our community.

Community Safety
Drug prevention, and access to essential resources remain top priorities for our families. I am committed to tackling these challenges head-on and working together to build a safer, healthier, and stronger Gatesville for all.
Working Together
We must also ensure that Gatesville is better prepared and more resilient. That means working closely with Coryell County officials to equip the Gatesville Volunteer Fire Department with the tools, training, and resources they need to protect our residents and infrastructure.
Infrastructure
Our city's aging infrastructure is a serious issue that can't be ignored. If we keep kicking the can down the road, we’ll face costly consequences—steep rate hikes and missed opportunities for growth. My promise to you is simple: I will lead with transparency, keep you informed, and tackle these challenges head-on.
Economic Growth
While economic growth brings opportunity, many residents are concerned about the pace of change—and how it might affect our small-town character and quality of life.
We pride ourselves on our adaptability and commitment to excellence in every aspect of our service to Gatesville. Explore what Leo Corona has to offer and how he can contribute to your success as a community.

Kristina Cute
"Having spent a good amount of time at the County Commissioners Court, I can say that Leo has been very observant of the proceedings and has made some very insightful suggestions and comments. They range from reutilizing property, expenditures and processes."
