Bay Area Houston

Millionaires, who do not live in the district, are funding John Scott for Friendswood ISD.

This is what can and will happen when CCISD realigns the election of Trustees. John Scott is running for FISD. He has raised nearly $50,000 which is an incredible amount for a school board race especially one as small as FISD. FISD has 6065 students, 1 high school, 3 elementary schools, and 2 intermediate schools. CCISD, for comparison, has over 41,000 students at 45 schools. Candidates running for Trustee rarely spend more than $5000.

Of the $48,969 raised by Scott, $41,787 came from 2 millionaires who do not live in the district. $26,787 came from Senator Millionaire Mayes Middleton. $15,000 came from a millionaire out of Dallas, Montgomery Bennett. Of the remaining $7,182, $3,269 came from Scott himself, leaving $3,913 coming from other donors.
