ONE CONTESTED RACE FOR BRENHAM SCHOOL BOARD WITH NEW FILING; THIRD BLINN BOARD INCUMBENT FILES

  

A fourth candidate has filed for the Brenham School Board, meaning there will now be a contested race in the May election.

Justin Colley has applied to run for Position 6 on the board, a seat also being sought by James “Mike” Garner.  The position is currently held by Natalie Lange, who has not filed for re-election.

Colley works as a regional sales manager at Brannon Industrial Group.  He was just recognized on Thursday as the Washington County Chamber of Commerce’s Board Member of the Year, and he is also a Chamber Blue Blazer and Leadership Washington County graduate.

For the other two school board seats up for election this spring, Jared Krenek has declared his intent to run for re-election to Position 7, while David Jantzi has filed for Position 5, held by Tommie Sullivan.  Sullivan has not announced whether he will run for another term. 

The Blinn Board of Trustees also has a new candidate filing, as Jim Kolkhorst has filed to continue serving in the At-Large Position 2 seat he has held since 2019.

All three returning Blinn board members up for election have now announced their plans to run again, as Richard O’Malley and Dennis Crowson previously declared their intent.

The last day to file for a spot on the May 3^rd ballot is Friday, February 14^th.
