UPDATED 4/26/26
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. Most recently, at the 3/23/26 board meeting, she commented that "I'm frustrated because I think we need to do some alleviating at Memorial Middle School as well. And while we are doing this and discussing it all … to me it makes sense to talk about the zones all at once."
The implication is that she would be fine/like to re-zone Rummel and Wilchester to Spring Forest Middle.
Having spoken with people close to the board that have interacted with her, they tend to think of her as self-centered and only focused on the Villages. If you are anyone outside of the Beltway and zoned to MMS, should vote for Smelley.
J Steven Smelley
--Former Fort Bend ISD board member (10 Years) who ran last cycle. He has a long career in business social service, and appears to be a conservative, by all accounts. He is not likely to rock the boat, but, being newer to the area, will not have the same squeaky wheels to grease that Andreson currently has.
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 positive. He is a lawyer by trade and an active member of Second Baptist. That said, he is also tied to the representation of disgraced GOP bigwig Paul Pressler and all the allegations surrounding Kanakuk s*xual abuse.
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. Her husband was attacked relentlessly last cycle for reasons that remain unapparent to me other than he is out-&-out conservative and not scared to rock the boat with the status quo in district administration.
