CONFIRMED: Joe Machol, currently a Seabrook Council Member will be challenging Trustee Jessica Cejka.

OMG! I meant SCOTT Bowen. LOL Brian is Scott’s brother. He was in the same Boy Scout troop at the same time my son was!

Billionaires for Bowen.

I hate to spread rumors but….looks like CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen has been actively looking for a candidate to challenge Trustee Jessica Cejka and has found one. Bowen has done this before recruiting Misty Dawson, Christine Parizo, and his latest Peter Lauzon. All three lost.

Dawson was one of the most unqualified candidates to ever run for an education position yet she lost to Trustee Cejka by just 40 votes. She eventually sued, with the help of the Republic Party, then conceded.

Christine Parizo lost by 25 points, not votes, points. She demanded a recount and complained to the Texas Attorney General who denied her request. At that point it was cloooooosed. She claimed the election was “rigged”. It wasn’t.

Peter Lauzon was another unqualified candidate but was a good buddy of Bowen. He was caught on film advocating for all the chaotic nonsense Bowen brought to the board. He was also funded by Defend Texas Liberty PAC an extreme fair right PAC solely funded by two extreme right wing billionaires in north Texas. That PAC dissolved after their leadership met with white supremacist Nick Fuentes. Bowen also has very disturbing associations with white supremacists. Read about that here.

Bowen has also received donations from this PAC as well as being associated with Steven Hotze another wealthy extremist with the Harris County Republic Party. Hotze has since been charged with 4 felonies including assault with a deadly weapon and organized crime. All of this stemming from a false claim of ballot harvesting. Hotze is also being sued civilly for his role in the assault.

Trustee Cejka has served one term and should be returned by the voters. Her heart seems to be in the right place which is the most important qualification for the position. She has great educational background including a Bachelors degree in mathematics from Texas A&M. Masters in education (Instructional Technology) from UHCL. Masters in education (Educational Administration) from UHCL. And she has served on the CCISD Board for one term.

Bowen and his Billionaire Buddies have other priorities which do not include parents, teachers, and students. I expect Bowen and his Buddy to run as a coalition funded by one of the many extremist organizations in Texas. Maybe his buddy doesn’t share Bowen’s priorities but there is absolutely no reason to challenge someone who is doing the job of Trustee and doing it well.
