Early Voting:  April 24 – May 2
Election Day:  Saturday, May 6

Local elections are some of the most difficult but most important decisions to make.  They certainly affect your pocket book in the biggest way!  Every year True Texas Project tries to lend a hand.  Our leadership teams in each area do the research and make suggestions.  Most of the time, these are just that – suggestions.  Every now and then there are actually candidates we will put our name behind and endorse, but often times we don’t like any of the choices!  And yet, we all have to make a decision, and so we choose who we think edges out the other(s) in one way or another.  We will NEVER tell you how to vote. We are just one resource for you to do your own research and make your own decisions.

Scroll through the lists below.  Make sure to check your school board, city council, and college board options.

Bond Elections
As a general rule of thumb, we recommend voting against all bonds.  Until the taxing entities show they can properly manage the money they already receive, they should not be given more to play with.  We are all having to stretch our dollars.  Cities and schools will have to make tough decisions too.
