Two of seven seats on the Killeen Independent School District board of trustees in Texas were up for at-large general election on May 6, 2017. In the race for Place 4, incumbent Marvin Rainwater defeated challenger Stephania Lynn Williams. The Place 5 incumbent opted not to seek re-election, and newcomer Carlyle Walton defeated former candidate Lan Carter and newcomers Gerald Dreher, Lonnie Farrow, and Robert “Bob” Snyder to win the open seat .[1][2]
Newcomer Steven Drayton also filed to run for the at-large Place 5 seat, but he was disqualified because he was not registered to vote in the state of Texas. Drayton resided in Killeen for over a decade but maintained his North Carolina voter registration while serving in the United States military.[3] Read more about KISD's policies regarding school board election candidacy here.
