It's that time of year again. Up for grabs this year are Positions 1, 2, and 3. I will update this OP as candidates' websites come online, as well as other information comes out.
Position 1 Candidates
Courtney Anderson
--Current board member who was originally elected in 2023. She ran on the conservative slate in 2023 and has largely held to those values in her time on the board. She is a known quantity who people generally know and trust.
J Steven Smelley (terrible name)
--Former Fort Bend ISD board member (10 Years) who ran last cycle and was soundly defeated. From what I can tell, there is not much known about him other that that he is a boomer with no kids currently in SBISD. This seems like a hobby project. That alone should probably be disqualifying.
Position 2 Candidates
Jeri Spence
--This one is a hard ABSOLUTELY NOT. She is endorsed by our own nutjob liberal Bean Bag Space Cadet who ran last cycle and was defeated by a wide margin:

I would urge you all to scroll Bean Bag Space Cadet's facebook page. It is bonkers, and if she is telling you to vote for someone, you should probably do the opposite.
Ted Tredennick
--I do not know alot about Ted, but what I have heard from people I trust has been very positive. He is a lawyer by trade and an active member of Second Baptist.
Sally Cone
--Sally is the wife of Matt Cone, who ran and lost last cycle. I know they have kids in SBISD and live in the villages. Will add more to her bio as campaign websites roll out.
