Thank god for La Marque.
A couple of years ago the city of Seabrook was on the verge of becoming the next League City with unnecessary chaos in city politics and elections. Four of the five candidates running under the Save Seabrook banner lost with only Angela Cervantes winning her race. Since that election Seabrook has been free from controversy for the most part and that is good for the citizens. Is City Council perfect? Of course not but it seems they are doing the job they were elected to do and doing it well.
We have seen what chaos can do to an organization. CCISD, League City, and La Marque all went through tough times with extreme political candidates and elected officials. CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen lost his reelection and they left the news cycle. City Councilman Justin Hicks resigned and League City left the news cycle. City Councilman Joseph Lowry is still in office and La Marque continues to dominate the local news. There is a pattern here. All three are extreme political hacks putting party over policies and it didn’t/hasn’t worked out for them.
City and school boards are non partisan organizations. Most voters know which side of the aisle the candidates stand on but regardless of party affiliation elected officials should be concerned about moving their city or school board forward instead of playing extreme partisan politics. Voters should be concerned about chicken littles yelling for a costly and unnecessary “forensic audit” like Joseph Lowry has called for in La Marque and former Seabrook City Councilman Joe Machol (pictured above) is calling for in Seabrook. All this accomplishes is mistrust in government something the Save Seabrook group does pretty well.
Hopefully voters will choose quiet over chaos and reject the candidates running under the Save Seabrook banner, including Kelly Stewart, Aaron McGuire, Josh Derrick. Save Seabrook from Chaos.
