Stardig announces in A

We now have a third official candidate in City Council District A, businesswoman Brenda Stardig, who I am told is outgoing Council Member Toni Lawrence’s preferred choice. She joins Alex Wathen and Jeff Downing, who have already filed their Treasurer’s reports, and possible Bert Schoelkopf in the pursuit of this seat. Her press release is beneath the fold. I haven’t heard of any other new candidates lately; if you’re aware of some, please leave a comment and let me know. Thanks.

Today Brenda Stardig officially began her campaign to succeed Toni Lawrence as the City Council Member representing District A.

“I am proud to announce that I am running for Houston City Council, District A! So many of people have encouraged me to seek this office now that it is open and I have decided to do this because I have the ability and desire to do an outstanding job for our community,” said Stardig.

Born and raised in District A, Brenda Stardig has worked alongside old friends and new neighbors to become an influential leader in her community. She has helped people in the community, devoting time and resources to improving west Houston. Her compassion is shown through her actions.

Brenda doesn’t rest. She currently serves as a director on the boards for government entities and medical corporations. Brenda has received praise for her tireless efforts, including the Keep Houston Beautiful Mayor’s Award Certificate of Recognition Winner and the award for Leadership Excellence in Neighborhood Development from Bank of America.
