Early Voting - One More Week!

Español

The Nov. 3 general election is just a little more than a week away, and the final week of early voting begins today. This is an important election with several statewide constitutional amendments, a Harris County bond election and, locally, the CFISD Board of Trustees Election.

Four Trustee positions are on the ballot, two of them contested:

Position 1

1. Thomas Jackson, incumbent (unopposed).

Position 2

1. Christine Hartley, incumbent (unopposed).

Position 3

1. Natalie Blasingame; and
2. Darcy Mingoia, incumbent.

Position 4

1. Debbie Blackshear; and
2. Pam Redd.

A Candidate Profiles / Voter’s Guide is available on our website as a downloadable PDF for you to learn more about the Board candidates. You can also watch the Board Candidate Forum on our YouTube channel, which was recorded on Oct. 13 at the Berry Center.

Early voting concludes on Oct. 30, and Harris County has a number of convenient locations in the CFISD area:

These can also be accessed on page 3 of the voter’s guide. You can also view your voter-specific ballot and polling locations on Harris County Clerk Stan Stanart’s website by entering in your name and address.

Voting is a key component of the freedom and democracy we enjoy in the United States. I encourage our entire community to exercise that right, and go vote today!

Nov. 3 Trustee Election

Español

The Nov. 3 general election will be upon us in less than a month. In addition to the many important races and measures on the ballot will be four positions for the CFISD Board of Trustees Election:

Position 1

1. Thomas Jackson, incumbent (unopposed).

Position 2

1. Christine Hartley, incumbent (unopposed).

Position 3

1. Natalie Blasingame; and
2. Darcy Mingoia, incumbent.

Position 4

1. Debbie Blackshear; and
2. Pam Redd.

You will have an opportunity to learn more about each candidate at the Candidate Forum, scheduled for Oct. 13 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Berry Center. A Candidate Profiles Guide is also available on the website to give voters more background on each candidate, and questions can be submitted through this online form. Access the election block on the homepage of our district website for additional information.

The two-week early voting period begins on Oct. 19 and continues through Oct. 30, and I’d like to encourage you to make plans to vote in the election.

A scroll through your sample ballot online reveals a constitutional amendment to increase the statewide homestead exemption from $15,000 to $25,000 and several other propositions, in addition to the list of candidates running in the CFISD Trustee Election.

Please take a few minutes to browse the voter-specific ballot and polling locations on Harris County Clerk Stan Stanart’s website by entering in your name and address. You can also access the early voting sites and hours on the site.

Voting is one of the great American freedoms that too many of us take for granted. I hope you will take the brief amount of time necessary to exercise that right, either during the early voting period or on Election Day.
