Incumbents apparently held on to their seats in the May 2 Cuero Independent School District election, according to unofficial results released by DeWitt County Elections.
In Yorktown Independent School District, two incumbents came out on top, but a challenger outpaced two incumbents in the election.
In CISD’s District 3 race, incumbent Wanda M. Campbell Prince Zuniga received 58.33% of the vote, compared to challenger Cindy Lange’s 41.67%. In CISD’s District 4, incumbent Justin Cooper got 78.91%, and challenger Jason Collier took 21.09%.
In YISD’s election where five candidates competed for four seats on the board, incumbents Jennifer Franke and Benjamin Hahn led the pack with 39.19% and 19.62% respectively, and challenger John Young followed them with 15.49%. Incumbents Tyler Lemke and Manuel Macias Jr. tailed with 14.96% and 10.74% respectively.
The results showed 786 of 4,635 or 16.96% of DeWitt County’s registered voters turned out for early voting and election day polling.
The results of the election will not be final until DeWitt County canvasses the votes, and a recount might be requested with a tight margin.
Elections in all other school districts, cities and Cuero Regional Hospital in DeWitt County were not held due to the lack of contested races.
