Chris Ehlinger
My next two interviews for the week will be for the HCAD Board of Directors. You may recall that after last year’s very low turnout special election runoffs, we had one Democrat and two Republicans in those seats. The Democrat, Kathy Blueford Daniels, is running for re-election in Place 1. Running in Place 2 for an open seat – incumbent Kyle Scott did not file for re-election – is Democrat Chris Ehlinger. (There’s a second Democrat as well, Jordyn Wilson, to whom I have not yet spoken.) Ehilnger is a CPA/MBA with 20+ years’ experience in Auditing, Appraisal Valuation, Real Estate, Banking, and Executive Management. He’s also a Texas A&M grad who grew up poor in rural South Texas, a Democratic precinct chair, and a volunteer for groups like the Timbergrove Manor Civic Association and Super Neighborhood 14. Here’s what we talked about:
