THEN THERE WERE NINE IN BISD NOV. 4 ELECTION

By Juan Montoya
Count out two candidates of the 11 for the three positions available on the board of directors of the Brownsville Independent School District.
BISD administrators confirmed this morning that Susan Fox, candidate for Place 2 and Armando Rodriguez, candidate for Place 1, had announced their withdrawal from the November 4 election.
That leaves Lucy Longoria (the incumbent from Place 4) at the top of the ballot followed by Rolando Guerra and Juan Pacheco and Cesar Lopez, who was appointed by the board after trustee Chris Saavedra moved to San Antonio.
Fox's departure leaves firefighter union chief Carlos Elizondo on a one-on-one contest with Robert Rodriguez, coincidentally, the brother of Armando Rodriguez, who left the Place 1 race.
The Place 4 race hasn't changed. That contest pits former BISD trustee and athletic director Joe Rodriguez  against longtime educator Shirley Bowman and Brownsville resident Mary Rey.
