Editor's note: The story was updated with the correct acronym for Lamar CISD, and candidate Ali Khan was removed from the article March 13, as he withdrew from the race.
Three candidates are vying to serve District 6 on the Lamar CISD board of trustees in the May 3 election. There’s no incumbent in the race, as trustee Joe Hubenak didn’t seek re-election.
The details
Previously there were four candidates, but educator Ali Khan withdrew from the race, John Oldham, Fort Bend County elections administrator, confirmed March 13.
"Due to unforeseen personal circumstances, I am unable to continue the campaign," Khan said in an emailed statement to Community Impact. "The support and momentum was tremendous and unfortunately to all the podcasters and venues where I was scheduled to speak; I thank y'all and apologize. I shall return in a different capacity and time. Best wishes to the leadership ahead!"
What you need to know
Candidates running for the LCISD board were asked to complete a questionnaire from Community Impact. They were asked to keep responses under 50 words, answer the questions provided and avoid attacking opponents. Answers may have been edited or cut to adhere to those guidelines, or for style and clarity.
The ballot order could not be accessed in time for publication, so candidates were listed in alphabetical order.
