Elections
2015
Four seats on the Canyon ISD school board were up for election on May 9, 2015. Three seats were scheduled for general election, while one seat was up for special election.
The terms of Place 1 incumbent Bruce Cobb, Place 2 incumbent Katharyn Wiegand, and Place 7 incumbent Linda Hinders were set to expire in 2015. All three incumbents filed to run for re-election, but no challengers filed to contest them. The election for their seats was canceled, and the three incumbents were automatically re-elected.
While the three regular elections did not reach the ballot, two candidates sought an unexpired two-year term up for special election. Place 4 incumbent Ann Girard announced in February 2015 that she would be resigning from the board effective May 8, 2015. Two newcomers, Bill Jenkins and Dan Butcher, filed to run for the open Place 4 seat. Jenkins won the seat.
