Overview
- Initial totals from the Harris County Clerk show Lesley Guilmart (Position 5), Cleveland Lane Jr. (Position 6) and Kendra Camarena (Position 7) leading after early voting, with complete results still pending.
- In Position 6, Lane holds 46% of early votes while Board Vice President Natalie Blasingame has 34% and Board President Scott Henry has 20%, reflecting a split among former conservative allies.
- Early counts indicate Guilmart at 51% in Position 5 and Camarena at 49% in Position 7, with conservative-aligned contenders Radele Walker and George Edwards Jr. trailing.
- The 6-1 conservative majority established in 2023 would hold if at least one of Blasingame, Walker or Edwards Jr. wins a seat.
- The officially nonpartisan race drew six-figure spending and PAC support for the conservative 'NRG' slate, in a contest that will shape policy for a 117,000-student district with a roughly $1.2 billion budget.
