Bay Area Houston

Former Trustee Scott Bowen’s billionaire buddies have finally stopped meddling in our school board elections.

30 day and 8 day out campaign finance reports are due for the CCISD board elections. Of the four candidates only two have posted their reports, Arturo Sanchez and Ernest Hallman. I didn’t expect one from Gabriel Gonzales. He filed a document saying he was not going to raise more than $1001 and therefore would be exempt from reporting. I don’t think he is running a serious campaign. Current Trustee Jamieson Mackay has not filed any reports for this election. I found that strange. He has run a successful campaign in the past and knows the requirements.

You can read all the reports on the CCISD website. In a nutshell Arturo has a very strong report raising about $7000. Hallman raised about $500. We are not seeing any meddling by the two billionaires out of the Dallas area, Timothy Dunn and Farris Wilks. They are now focusing their money on helping Scott Bowen win his House seat. There is no evidence of meddling from any outside organization which is great for the community.

The election is May 2. If you live in District 2 or 3 go find your voting location and vote! Not sure where to vote? Use the app on the CCISD’s website to find your voting location!
