We had heard of the entry into the fray of 404th District Judge Cornejo-Lopez and wondered whether she would be required to resign her position under the "resign to run" rule where two elected positions are incompatible. A previous Texas Attorney General's Opinion said about as much, but now we learn that – according to their interpretation of the law – Lopez-Cornejo would have to resign only after she won the election. There are other issues awaiting the make-up of the board, as the apparent violation of the city's personnel policy manual that states that a city employee (like Fire Chief Carlos Elizondo) cannot serve on the local school board. So far, no one has pressed the issue of this apparent violation of the city's own policy. Will anyone? Laura Perez-Reyes is the court administrator for County Country-at-Law David Gonzalez and Rigoberto Bocanegra is a Lt. on the Brownsville Fire Dept. Will there be questions there as well?)
List of people we heard were considering running for the four open positions:
All four incumbents (Powers, Presas-Garcia, Peña, and Jose Chirinos)
Rick Zayas (local attorney and former BISD trustee, Joe Rodriguez's lawyer)
Erasmo Castro (Head Cheezmeh guy, fomer city commission candidate)
Phillip Cowen (Local attorney, said to be allied with trustee Joe Rodriguez)
Grciana de Peña (Another blast from the past, also allied with Rodriguez)
Joe Colunga (Former trustee, aslo Coch Joe's guy)
Kent Wittenmore (BISD administrator)
Dr. Sylvia Atkinson (former BISD Asst. Superintendent)
Dr. Sylvia Atkinson (former BISD Asst. Superintendent)
Orlando Treviño (A BISD employee and uncle of Otis Powers)
Robert Uresti (Perennial candidate for a lot of positions, including city commissioner)
Gilbert Rendon (New York Deli Beatle guy and brother of BISD administrator an TSC trustee Art Rendon)
JRodriguez, JRod (Prolific letter writer to the Herlad and former BISD teacher)
Robert Rodriguez (A former BISD trustee candidate who lost to Elizondo last time attorney)
Anyone else out there?

chirinos has a high profile opponent just lining up her supporters before she files. Money and name recognition aleady in place
Is Letty Garzoria running?
All okay except Otis Powers. Not BROWN enough.
When is the deadline to file? Thanks for bringing this important election to our attention. That's good journalism, to warn the community of the filing deadline. Some good people might want to run, instead of the usual suspects.
Panco Villa
What about Don De Leon
Is Laura Perez related in any way to Pat Perez (the secretary that handles board meeting agendas)?
Would that be also a conflict of interest?
Vote "NO!" on Rigo Bocanegra. He does not have the brains to serve the public in this capacity.
Erasmo Castro? Erasmo Castro?? Erasmo Castro??? ha ha ha ha
Joe Salazar?
Elia vs Cata
Cata vs Elia
Otra vez Powers....
In my opinion Rick Zayas has no business running, he is a Rat, A Drunk , a drug abuser, a wife cheater with a 22 year old girl. And What's this Judge Lopez , what is the intrest in these position.. Mark my words OP 1033 will fund their campaign and these 2 candidate's will Runn and make money,
I think Mr. Bocanegra will be a great candidate, he has always helped out all the candidate's. I remember seeing him campaign for that Loser Carlos Elizondo, what's waist if a man. I will vote for Mr. Bocanegra, he will be a honest voice for our teachers , staff, children. THANK YO . KAREN LEE
Rigo Bocanegra is another Letty Perez-Garzoria!
A more appropriate picture would be a race of donkeys (asses). We continue to have arrogant assholes run for BISD....not to improve academics, but to fill their pockets. Any day now I expect to see all the schools, down to Headstart, renamed.....Burns College Preparatory Elementary School. The name change hasn't improved academics but gives the public the idea that change has been made. A more true name would be like: Lopez Socialization and Assimilation Training Center for Future Welfare Recipients and Members of the Democratic Party.
Bocanegra is the real loser
Rick Zayas is an excellent candidate
SYLVIA ATKINSON AND CHIRINOS FOR BISD BOARD !
EASY WIN FOR CHIRINOS !!
Let me start by saying that Rigo is not a bad guy. The problem is that he will be disappointed to see that all those that he helped will not move a finger for him. In turn, all that he worked against will come out looking for blood. Truth be told,
most of his candidates lose so you can expect him to lose too.
With all these corrupt ppl running for affice send a bad message to our kids..having ppl like drunk, thiefs, and cheaters let our young kids think if they do it why cant we. We need to set an example
I have know Rigo for many years, he will have my vote and my family's vote, Rigo is a man who has always helped the community with nothing in return. He is a man who will give you his shirt off his back. I am voting for him because he helped me and my family and not only he was there for us, with no question asked .. He is a great person and a humble man.
Yo con don....
Rigo bocanegra is going to need a good team to pull this off, i see no problem in him getting people as he has helped almost every candidate get elected
By the way erasmo castro is becoming a JOKE, he is desperate for any position and is a dangerous candidate. Get ready for the attacks!
Give me a break, what a loser
Rick Zayas? LOL
Don De Leon is a workless individual
Rigo Bocanegra is a bad apple
Don doesn't like to work
He did not do shit for BISD ALL HE DID WAS TAKE KICK BACKS ALL FOR RICK AND NOTHING FOR THE ALL THE STAFF FOR BISD OR THE CHILDREN. AND THAT IS A FACT.
You bunch of assholes! Rigo has the biggest brains, why are you all HATERS. Rigo's brains are just in his ass!
Rigo will win if Kimberly Doll Dale helps him. She's BEAUTIFUL, classy, educated and is such a role model to the citizens of Brownsville.
Otis "El Puto" Power, is everybody's whore?
Now his uncle Orlando "El Payaso" is going to run? Let's not forget how many times Silvia has cried wolf, that she is going to run so she can either get a job or a promotion?
The Otis Powers and Silvia Atkinson Circus?
Don la llorona. He's always crying and complaining like his father and stupid sister. They always have something to bitch about. Nobody likes that family. Go away.
Kimberly is the exact opposite of everything listed here. She is ugly as hell, extremely uneducated and illiterate, has zero class and isn't even a good role model to her own children. She's a worthless Politiquera who just serves to get her candidates all her haters.
Lol yes! Who told these idiots they were qualified? It's probably Marco Longoria encouraging them saying that the community will vote for them because they're firefighters and that automatically makes them heroes. Puros pendejos.
Ha ha ha..shes hot! What are you talking about, and she's doing a great job exposing the RATA on the board! Arriba kim!
Rigo no vale madre
Ricky this is Caty burning you again. Ya deja que respire!!
Where is the proof that Rick is a drunk,drug user,and a cheater or a rat. Lmao!!! This is coming from Caty. Hahaha!! Caty you know you want him. Just sleep with him like you done with everyone else.
