Four of the seven seats on the Ysleta Independent School District board of trustees in Texas were up for general election on May 6, 2017. In her bid for re-election to the District 1 seat in the general election, incumbent Ana Maria Dueñez faced challengers Carlos Jesus Bustillos and Mitch Brice. Bustillos won election to the seat. Richard Couder ran unopposed and won the open District 3 seat by default. A runoff election for District 5 was held on June 10, 2017, for incumbent Paul Pearson and challenger Cruz Ochoa. They defeated Miguel Payan and Leila Melendez in the general election. Ochoa defeated Pearson in the runoff election to win his first term on the board. No one filed to run as a regular candidate for the District 7 seat. Write-in candidate Kathryn Hairston was appointed to that seat.[1][2][3][4]
