Elections
2016
Four seats on the Midland Independent School District board of trustees were up for by-district general election on November 8, 2016. The seats held by District 1 incumbent James Fuller, District 2 incumbent Angel Hernandez, District 4 incumbent Jeff Robnett, and District 7 incumbent Jay Isaacs were up for election. The only incumbent to file for re-election was Fuller. In District 1, Fuller defeated challenger Ernie Garcia. District 2 saw sole candidate Robert Marquez file for the open seat. Due to lack of opposition, the election was canceled and Marquez was appointed to the seat in September 2016.[1] Rachel Stone led John Kennedy for the District 4 seat after the initial count, but a recount determined that Kennedy won the seat by a single vote.[2] In District 7, Bryan Murry defeated Margy House for the seat.[3][4]
