Five of seven seats on the Judson Independent School District board of trustees in Texas were up for by-district election on May 6, 2017. Four of the seats were up for regular election and came with four-year terms, and one seat was up for special election and came with a two-year term. Incumbent Richard LaFoille was re-elected in District 2 after running unopposed. In District 3, incumbent Gilbert Flores lost to challenger Debra Eaton. District 4 incumbent José Macias Jr. was also re-elected after running unopposed. In District 5, incumbent Arnoldo Salinas was defeated by challenger Jennifer Rodriguez. The special election in District 1 was held due to the resignation of former board president Steve Salyer in January 2017. Newcomer Suzanne Kenoyer defeated fellow newcomer Michael Holdman to fill the open seat.[2][3]

Newcomer Rick Page also filed to run in the District 1 special election. According to the school district, Page's application was rejected due to missing information required by state law. His name still appeared on the ballot.[4] To learn more about the candidacy requirements in Judson ISD, please click here.

Campaign themes

2010

Holdman's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[11]

NO TOLL ROADS IN TEXAS

Excerpt:" especially not in District 119! Texans should not have to pay for the roads we drive on. Texas government must properly allocate funds and competently manage the state highway system in such a way that tax payer money is spent wisely on our roads and highways."

BORDER SECURITY

Excerpt:"means local security. Texas government must beef up law enforcement capabilities and manpower along the Texas border to prevent violence associated with drug cartels that endanger Texans and push drugs into our community. Most of the drugs found by law enforcement in District 119 come from Mexico or are locally manufactured by those with ties to Mexican drug cartels. The better we secure our border and prevent drug smuggling the safer our streets will be."

HIGHER EDUCATION

Excerpt: "for our kids in District 119. Tuition prices charged by state supported colleges are beginning to get out of hand, and with the deregulation of school tuition we have seen prices explode to new heights. At this rate, the Class of 2020 will have spent over $80,000 in tuition alone. A state supported college should be affordable for all people wishing to attend, and price should not exclude some from the American dream of higher education."

BALANCE STATE BUDGET

Excerpt:"without more taxes. Our state will have a substantial fiscal deficit to face in the 2011 legislative session. We cannot spend our way out of debt and we cannot place additional tax burdens on Texans. We must support our private sector economy that provides for more jobs and better products and services in our community. Levying more taxes is not the answer!

We must instead downsize government and upsize business enterprise by cutting budgets of fat and ineffective state agencies whose “good enough for government” attitude is no longer welcome in Texas, and work to encourage small business growth and entrepreneurship."
