The HCC trustee races

I think this will be the last of the campaign overview stories.

Five candidates are vying for two spots on [Houston Community College]'s governing board in the Nov. 6 election, and all but the one incumbent are taking issue with the leadership of the current trustees.

Yolanda Navarro Flores is fighting to keep her seat, while trustee Jay Aiyer, who pleaded guilty in June to a misdemeanor charge of tampering with a governmental record, decided not to run for re-election.

Kevin J. Hoffman, a real estate and contract analyst for energy companies, is challenging Flores, a lawyer, in their north Houston district.

[...]

In the district that covers southwest Houston and Fort Bend County, there are three contenders -- Manuel "Meme" Barrera, Lois Davis and Neeta Sane -- for the seat vacated by Aiyer.

I wouldn't call this article any more original or insightful than the Council stories I've kvetched about, but since these are about the lowest-profile races out there, it's worth your time to read it.
