Local Races Tame Compared to Some in Houston Area

CONROE, TX -- While the contentious race to become the next
president of the United States would be enough to drive voters to the
polls in most cases, the race for those seeking a seat on The Woodlands
Township Board of Directors helped drive local voters to the ballot box
for the early voting season.

Some voters in this north Houston community were driven by fear
after receiving mailers or seeing advertisements from a non-profit
group, known as The Woodlands Concerned Taxpayers,
which claimed the board of directors was pushing for incorporation of
the Woodlands well before 2057, which tye said would derive taxes up by
about 70 percent.

The same group expressed support for a number of candidates, that
include Mike Bass (Position 2), Amy Lampman (Position 1), Stuart
Schroeder (Position 3) and Chris Grice (Position 4).

To counter that vote, a group calling itself Residents Advocates ,
which has also been associated with Tea party group, Texas Patriots
PAC, endorse an opposite slate of candidates, which include incumbent
Gordy Bunch (Position 1), John Anthony Brown (Position 3), Bruce Rieser
(Position 4) and Brian Boniface (Position 2).

While this race take center stage in Montgomery County, other races
Rand Henderson is running unopposed for Montgomery County Sheriff, and
will replace the retiring Sheriff’ Tommy Gage.

Montgomery County Pct. 1 Commissioner Mike Meador and Pct. 3 Commissioner James Noack are also both running unopposed.

The polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.
