TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT: BISD DEADLINE FOR NOV. 3 ELECTION


Making Sure You Don't Miss Grant Deadlines | Edmentum Blog
Special to El Rrun-Rrun

According to the Brownsville Independent School District's listing of the appointments of a campaign treasurer by candidate application for a place on school board general election ballot, 14 potential candidates will vie for five seats on the board. The filing deadline is 5 p.m. today and there's no telling whether other candidates will wait until the last minute to file an appointment of their treasurer and for a place on the ballot before the deadline.

So far, they are (in alphabetical order until they draw for the ballot):
Place 2: 
Jaime Diez
Denise Garza
Frank Olivo
(Currently, that seat is held by Eddie Garcia, who was appointed to fill the seat vacated by Erasmo Castro. GArcia has indicated he will leave it and run for Place 7.)

Place 3: 
Viro Cardenas
(I) Phil Cowen
Jessica G. Gonzalez
Argelia Miller

Place 5:
Erasmo Castro 
Daniela Valdez
Zachary A. Belvins
(This seat is currently held by incumbent Laura Perez Reyes who won the Democratic nomination for Cameron County District Clerk and will serve until the school district election Nov. 3. She faces Republican opponent Mirla Veronica Deaton in the general election.) 

Place 6:
Marisa Leal
(I) Minerva Peña

Place 7:
Carlos Elizondo
Eddie Garcia
(This seat is currently held by incumbent Dr. Sylvia P. Atkinson. Atkinson, currently under federal indictment for bribery and conspiracy and facing a removal petition in state court, may at the last moment file for reelection despite her legal troubles. If she does, it throws a bucketful of monkey wrenches in the mix. Garcia was appointed to replace Castro in Place 2. Elizondo is currently facing trial on theft charges having to do with his stint as the treasurer of the Firefighters PAC.)

Other individuals have made noises about running including former BISD trustee Catalina Presas-Garcia, who has indicated she might run for Place 3 against Cowen. Carlos McHale Esparza, son of blogger Jerry McHale, has also been touted by his father as a candidate although, like Presas-Garcia, had not filed as of press time. Former trustee Joe A. Rodriguez is also rumored to be filing today.)

COVID-19 forces some U.S. schools to close, as new cases remain high in most states
Almost as quickly as they welcomed students back, some U.S. schools are closing again due to outbreaks of COVID-19, the latest challenge as the nation tries to reopen while the level of new cases per day remains high in most states.

And the bisd super at home working what a disgrace we need to vote all of these pendejos OUT AND FIRE that worthless moron making 30k a month.
WHAT A WASTE

And all these people are actually thinking that they know what to do as board members? Do they know the qualifications or am I mistaken about people with jail time, court cases, hatred, vindications, plain no-shame. Some need to be hiding from the public and not expecting to be elected again after they failed the first time. Are these the role models that we need in our board to support our students? I don't think so, but the ones who would be perfect for the position are either too old, too sick or don't have enough money to run their campaign and do not have the inside scoop as to where to find a tree with money growing on them. What a dilemma our country finds itself in with our decision to vote for the lessor of two evils. What is this world coming too? A new generation will not come in until another 10-15 years and hopefully by that time our current parents will understand that what they need to teach their kids is respect and pride in themselves and what they do.

Hey, we finally have a respectable lady in the run again the current chest beater? Is this Marissa Leal, the wife of Louis Leal? Oh, she is related to Lupe Leal, Eddie Garcia's father in law? If so, is she also related to Gabby Garcia. Oop, changed my mind. It will be a family control political system all over again.

You see why people do not care to run for the board??

Crowd up the candidates so that they go into a run-off.
Playing the same game as was done before when they brought
in all those that supported a certain candidate to ensure
a majority when voting?

Carlos elizondo running again. He has no shame, he will continue to bully, steal, lie, cheat and do whatever is to his own interest. He doesn't care who he hurts and certainly doesn't care about our community or kids. People open your eyes his guy will back stab you. Remember the recordings he is a snake. He will secretly record you and try to black mail to get his ways. Wow this guy, does he really think we are stupid.
