But his time in public office was marred with controversy.
FIRST REPORT: Mayor of Corpus Christi resigns on Facebook
His credentials were called into question by KRIS 6 News, a Corpus Christi TV station, after reporters found inconsistencies in his resume, which included his educational background.
McQueen also may have violated the city's nepotism policy by hiring a chief of staff who listed the same home address as he did, according to the report.
The controversial mayor resigned after railing against the media and the City Council, claiming it "is comprised of only high school graduates."
McQueen is one of at least three Republicans challenging Castro for the seat. San Antonio construction business owner Anita Marie Kegley and real estate agent Dominick Dina are also running, according to TXElects.com.
