Cy-Fair ISD to host trustee candidate forum ahead of Election Day

Cy-Fair ISD will host a Q&A forum Oct. 15 featuring candidates in the upcoming board of trustees election. The public forum will be held in the theater of the Berry Center, located at 8877 Barker Cypress Road.

What you need to know

Nine candidates are on the ballot for three trustee positions, including:

• Terrance Edmond, Lesley Guilmart and Radele Walker for Position 5
• Scott Henry, Cleveland Lane Jr. and Natalie Blasingame for Position 6
• Elecia Jones, Kendra Camarena and George Edwards Jr. for Position 7

Community members have through Oct. 7 to submit questions for the forum. According to an Oct. 3 news release from the district, questions will be randomly drawn by the moderator, Jason Culpepper, Community Impact’s Houston market president. Questions may also be reworded for conciseness.

All candidates will be available for a meet-and-greet from 5:45-6:45 p.m. in the Berry Center atrium, per the release. The forum is scheduled for 7-9 p.m. and will be livestreamed on the district’s website and YouTube channel.

Staying prepared

In-person attendees must adhere to the Berry Center’s clear bag policy. Oct. 6 is the last day to register to vote and the last day registered voters can update their addresses.

Early voting for the November election runs Oct. 20-31, and Election Day is Nov. 4.
