On the ballot


This is not a comprehensive list and does not include all possible Nov. 4 races or any uncontested races.

The four candidates for Position 6 on The Woodlands Township board of directors are:
  • Adam Lamb
  • Allan Bounds
  • Philip Ikharebhore
  • Maria Holmes
Position 6 is the only contested race in the Nov. 4 election.

Positions 5 and 7, which also have terms ending this year, are currently occupied by incumbents Shelley Sekula-Gibbs and Cindy Heiser, respectively, who are seeking reelection. Ann Snyder is not seeking reelection to Position 6.

The race will not be on the ballot for voters outside of The Woodlands Township.
