Bay Area Houston

It’s a good question and one that he has not been willing to answer. I have attempted to have a discussion with him but he has refused.

Gabriel is a buddy of former Trustee Scott Bowen and was recruited by Scott to run against Arturo Sanchez, one of the best Trustees the district has ever had. Even after a sound defeat in his reelection Bowen continues to meddle in CCISD elections as he did while on the board. As you might recall Bowen recruited 4 candidates to run against his fellow Trustees, everyone one of them were rejected by CCISD voters and they rejected Bowen himself. The board has been without chaos ever since.

So who is Gabriel and why is he running? It’s hard to understand since he is quick to block anyone who asks. Gabriel is/was a republican precinct chair until recently when he was wiped off by a 75/25 vote in the Republican primary. He is a firm supporter of Scott Bowen. He has filed paperwork claiming he will not raise or spend more than $1001 which should make you wonder who is going to finance his campaign. He claims to be a teacher although there is no evidence of him being certified. He has had a number of jobs lasting anywhere from a few months to a couple of years. He is currently associated with a Charter school in Houston and also has a job with a new media outlet KGTX in Galveston County. He has a Facebook page but will block you if you ask hard questions. His campaign ads are all AI generated and he does not have a website.

It is sad that the Republican Party and Scott Bowen hasn’t gotten the hint yet. CCISD does not want chaos. We want Trustees who are focused on parents, teachers, students, and taxpayers, not a political party. We want Trustees who focus on the district no matter what party they associated with.

Gabriel is not that candidate.

NOTE: I am a supporter of Arturo Sanchez and have volunteered for his campaign in the past.
