Although filing for the Nov. 5 Friendswood ISD trustees election ends Aug. 19, seven candidates have filed across four positions for the election so far, including all four incumbents.

The gist

According to district documents, the following four-year seats are up for election Nov. 5, and the following candidates have filed so far. An asterisk indicates they are the incumbent:

Position 1
  • Laura Seifert*
Position 2
  • Niki Rhodes*
  • Donald “Doc” Stran
Position 3
  • Rebecca Hillenburg*
  • Debra Sue Spurr
Position 4
  • Tony Hopkins*
  • John Scott
The order of the candidates is based on incumbents first, which may be different once ballot order is finalized.

District staff confirmed these numbers as well on July 25, meaning it’s been over a week since any new filings have taken place.
