| The Place 5 race for the Austin Community College board of trustees is shaping up to be a competitive one. Four candidates are vying to replace Raul Alvarez on the board: Vic Villarreal, a 37 year old ACC adjunct professor of business and former Leander city council member, Davis Jones, a 26 year old ACC student, David Reiter, a lawyer and board member of the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce, and myself. All four candidates possess at least some democratic party credentials. Club endorsements are split, with numerous close votes, although my campaign boasts the greatest number of endorsements to date with four (South Austin Democrats, Capital Area Asian American Democrats, Black Austin Democrats, Capital Area Progressive Democrats). This election coincides with the school board elections. Election Day is on May 8th. The early voting period starts on Monday, April 26th. |
