Thank god for La Marque.
La Marque has been in the news quite a bit because of one single council member causing chaos with unsubstantiated claims of corruption, lawlessness, criminality and calls for unnecessary and costly “forensic audits”. Seabrook, on the other hand, escaped this chaos a few years ago electing a new Mayor and Council Members dedicated to being a bit boring, doing the job, and providing services for the community. This is exactly what every elected official should be doing especially in non partisan races. Fortunately the voters of La Marque ran off the Council Members wife in their recent election, but….there is a runoff coming June 13 in Seabrook.
Seabrook voters have a chance to stay out of the news with competent, non partisan, leadership. This election pits Aaron McGuire against Bryon Hanssen. Aaron is associated with the Save Seabrook group, one that is trying to save Seabrook from whatever they can make up like unsubstantiated claims of corruption, lawlessness, criminality and calls for unnecessary and costly “forensic audits”. Back in May of 2025 the Save Seabrook candidates didn’t fare well:
The candidates of the Save Seabrook (SS) Squad were enjoying spicy crawfish at The Barge on election night, at least for a little while. In the end all but one lost. Angela Cervantes is the only SS candidate that won her seat on City Council. Jackie Rasco lost. J.P. Byers lost. Kyra Burton lost. Chris Hues lost. I really didn’t see this coming and I bet they didn’t appreciate the guy in the corner playing WOMP WOMP on his trombone.
Angela was the only successful candidate. Her time, so far, on Council could be more productive but adding another SS Council Member will not help. Calling for unnecessary and expensive forensic audits, as former Councilman Joe Machol has demanded will not move the city forward.
Voters should consider Saving Seabrook from chaos.
