2015 Municipal and School Board Elections

Every election I'm asked by people all over the metroplex who to vote for. I cannot do the research on all these cities myself. Several trusted friends have indicated who they plan to vote for, and those names are listed below. I have not personally researched or vetted these candidates, and this is in no way an endorsement. This is just a starting point for you to do your own research.

This list is subject to grow or change. If you have a municipality you would like help with, please email heyjuliesue@gmail.com with the offices and names of all candidates, and I'll see what I can do. No promises.



Arlington
  • For Prop 1 
  • Mayor: Jerry Pikulinski is the more conservative candidate.  Unfortunately he did not have funding for a strong enough campaign to win.  You decide!
  • At-Large District 8 City Council: Richard Weber
  • Council Place 3:  Robert Rivera
  • Council Place 4:  Kathryn Wileman
  • Council Place 5: Mark Liberto

HEBISD
Both candidates have some good to offer.  No clear winner.                                  
Gary Jones - no history with NETTP but seems to have good ideas
Fred Campos - longer history cooperating with NETTP but campaigned against Stickland in last election --says he changed his mind after the debates.
You decide!

Hurst
Joel D. Downs                                                                                            
                                    
Irving                         
Place 6:  Brad LaMorgese                                                                                                               
                                                                    
Keller  
We have members supporting both of the candidates for Place 1.  Keller politics are always very messy it seems!  Most of the feedback seems to support Bryan, but there are solid conservatives supporting  Mizani as well.  This is a case where you'll have to do your own research and make your best decision!  (Not much input has been provided on the Place 2 seat).
