Bay Area Houston

Last night the Conservatives, Democrats, and Independents of the district found common ground and returned Trustee Jessica Cejka to the school board and elected Rebecca Lilley. People said loudly “PARTISAN POLITICS DO NOT BELONG IN OUR SCHOOLS!”.

CCISD voters have bucked the billionaires from Dallas, Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks. These two have spent millions financing candidates for school boards across the state including CCISD. Scott Bowen took their money as did his recruit Peter Lauzon. Both have lost. Lauzon was primarily funded by Wilks PAC, Defend Texas Liberty with $5000. DTL also gave $5000 to another candidate. She returned it.

Bowen spent almost $20,000 of his own money in his losing effort while others spent a couple of thousand. Joe Machol who challenged Jessica Cejka didn’t have much of a campaign and spent little if any. He did get a bit of help from the Harris County Republic Party with some texting.

Thanks to the voters CCISD will be a shining example across the state. We stood up to the billionaires. We put kids, parents, teachers, and tax payers over political parties. It doesn’t matter what party you align with just as long as you run for the right reasons. Congratulations to Jessica and Rebecca and to the voters of the district!
