Three people filed on the last day for November’s Bryan and College Station local elections. Two filed in the last 20 minutes.
One was just before the 5 p.m. deadline. Mengmeng Gu becomes the third person to seek the College Station ISD place two seat being vacated by Amanda Green, who is not seeking a second term. Also seeking the place two seat are Blaine Decker and Kim Ege.
Also on Monday, a former CSISD place two candidate switched to running for the place one seat. That’s after incumbent and board president Mike Nugent decided not to seek a third term. Amy Alge joins Darin Paine as place one candidates.
18 minutes before Monday’s deadline, a third person filed for the College Station city council’s place six position. Marie-Anne Mosseau-Holland joins David Levine and Dennis Maloney. The candidates in the College Station council’s place four seat are Elizabeth Cunha and William Wright.
There were no last day filings for Bryan ISD school board. That means three current members are running unopposed. Board president Mark McCall and member Ruthie Waller are pursuing their third terms. And David Stasny, who rejoined the board to finish a term as the single member district five member, will be getting a full term. Stasny served 30 years as at at large member before he lost in last year’s election.
There is no Bryan city council election this year. That’s after voters approved a change to the city charter last November to make council terms four years long and hold elections in even numbered years. This gives another year in office for Bryan councilmen Buppy Simank and Brent Hairston, whose terms were supposed to expire this November.
