Baytowns emergency services districts won easy renewals with over 87 percent support from voters. Early results showed strong backing from business groups and police and fire unions as final unofficial tallies placed both renewals at about 87 percent.
Voters in Mont Belvieu backed Barber Hill ISD’s $75 million bond referendum by over three to one. Superintendent Dr. Greg Poole praised the turnout of 1,109 voters and said the margin shows the community supports public education. The note fragments indicate more details on page 5A.
Baytown District 2 Councilman Scott Sheley will stay in office after voters rejected recall. With 369 votes for Proposition 1 and 206 to keep him, 55.83 percent chose the incumbent, who spoke emotionally at Luna's Mexican Restaurant watch party and pledged progress for the district. He had trailed early in totals posted on the city site.
Early voting showed incumbent Terry Sain favored in District 4 and challenger Robert C. Hoskins leading District 5. In District 6, incumbent David McCartney led Sammy Mahan by 15 votes and finished with 56.8 percent to 225 for Mahan, amid a heated contest with accusations of questionable conduct.
Daniel C. Blackford defeated incumbent Wylyne Laughlin in early voting and held a final tally of 164 154 to win the Goose Creek ISD District 7 trustee seat. McCartney reacted by saying he is glad it’s over. See GCCISD page 5A for business dealings and Baytown page 5A for more.
