Realtors, Teachers Make Endorsements in Local Races

The Greater Lewisville Association of Realtors, and the United Educators Association have both recently offered endorsements in the Lewisville ISD School Board races, and in GLAR's case, the City Council races.

In the Lewisville ISD Races, GLAR endorsed:
Place 1: Former Trustee Kathy Duke
Place 2: School Board President Vernell Gregg

GLAR made endorsements after meeting with candidates, who completed questionnaires.

The United Educators Association (UEA) has endorsed:
Place 1: Dr. June Ehinger
Place 2: Cornel Bekker

UEA, which represents classroom teachers and paraprofessionals solicited questions from their membership, narrowing them down to 12 topics. UEA LISD Chapter President Mike Bowden said that the organization chose candidates based on their likelihood to consider that information presented by the administration will not always reflect the views of teachers. The group wanted to make sure that candidates would consider all points of view.

The Realtors weighed in on local City Council races too:

Flower Mound:

Council Place 2: Bryan Webb
Council Place 4: Steve Dixon
