ELECTION RESULTS: Don Smith defeats Attorney JaPaula Kemp in the race for Missouri City Council District A by 134 Votes on Saturday, May 9, 2015 in Fort Bend County

The Missouri City Council District B race was a little more competitive than the District A race.  JaPaula Kemp, an attorney by trade, was trying to defeat incumbent Council Member Don Smith. But it would not be her night, as Smith held her off by 134 votes.

I’m not sure, how much campaigning Kemp did leading up to Election Day; but I’m sure that this race was a little closer than most people thought it would turn out to be.

But again, the voter turnout for this race was very low. At the end of the night, Smith earned 56.82% or 558 votes, to Kemp’s 43.18% or 424 votes.


CAMPAIGN NEWS: Addie Heyliger, Grayle James, Yolanda Ford, and Don Smith, All Emerged as Winners in the Saturday, May 9, 2015 General Election in Fort Bend County


According to her website, Addie Heyliger ran for Fort Bend ISD School Board Member for Position 6 with the sole purpose to become an advocate for educational excellence in Fort Bend County. And by defeating Jenny Bailey, the incumbent who was seeking re-election, Heyliger has earned the chance to fulfill her purpose and stated goal as the FBISD Trustee for Position 6.

“We Won! We Won! We Won!! Thank You everyone for all your hard work!! 
Thank You Stephen Brown for believing in me! Special Thanks to Commissioner Richard Morrison Cynthia M. Ginyard Sarah Slamen Grady Prestage for your unwavering support through this campaign! Thank you for all of my volunteers,” is what Heyliger posted on her facebook page after clinching her election night victory.



In the race for Fort Bend ISD School Board Member for Position 6 there were four candidates running on the Saturday, May 9, 2015 ballot. But it was Addie Heyliger who finished with a majority of the votes. She earned 33.27% or 2,477 votes on election night. Jenny Bailey finished second with 29.12% or 2,168 votes; Stuart A. Jackson finished third with 24.40% or 1,817 votes; and J.J. Clemence finshed fourth with 13.22% or 984 votes.

The margin of victory was slim; but a victory is a victory. Heyliger defeated Bailey by a mere 309 votes in the race for Fort Bend ISD School Board Member for Position 6.




In the race for Fort Bend ISD School Board Member for Position 2, incumbent Trustee Grayle James, also the Board President, was able to hold off Kathy Li in another very close race. James earned 54.26% or 3,937 votes; and Li earned 45.72% or 3,316 votes. 

The margin of victory was slim; only 621 votes separated James and Li in the race for Fort Bend ISD School Board Member for Position 2; but a victory is a victory.


The Missouri City Council District A race was actually a rematch featuring former District A Council Member Bobby Marshall trying to reclaim his seat from the incumbent Yolanda Ford who defeated Marshall in a runoff election back in May of 2013. But Council Member Ford was not having any of it, as she soundly beat back the challenge of Marshall by gaining 72.13% of vote. 

The turnout was pretty low however, as only 635 votes were recorded in the District A race. But again, a victory is a victory.

Marshall finished the night with 27.87% or 177 votes, to Ford’s 458 votes.

THE NEXT ELECTION FOR MISSOURI CITY

The next major election for the residents of Missouri City will be the 2016 Mayoral Election. The Election is expected to take place on Saturday, May 7, 2015. If anything changes, we’ll let you know.

Mayor Allen Owen, Council Member Jerry Wyatt, the At-Large Position #1 councilman, and Chris Preston, the At-Large Position #2 councilman will all be on the ballot, should they choose to run for re-election, as expected.

TURNOUT MUST GET BETTER

According to the Texas Secretary of State there were 363,147 registered voters in Fort Bend County in 2014. However, none of the races in the Saturday, May 9, 2015 General Election drew more than a few thousand votes. While winning the election on Election Day is important, somewhere in the very near future we must make it our business to increase voter participation in local elections.

"According to an ABCNews/Beliefnet Poll 83 percent of Americans identify themselves as Christians. So to this end, it makes perfect sense for us to get Christians engaged, empowered, informed, and excited about the process of choosing those who govern on the local, state, and federal levels in America. So don't forget about what Proverbs 29:2 teaches us: "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." -- AUBREY
