The supposedly non-partisan race that became partisan is over, with all three Humble ISD Board of Trustees incumbents--Sitton, Conrad and Cunningham--keeping their seats.
The race became very tension-filled during the early voting period, and the partisan political tactics used by candidates were noticed at the state level, getting mentions in both Texas Monthly and Breitbart Texas.
Approximately 5,200 people voted out of 116,000 eligible voters, meaning the decision regarding trustees was made by less than 5 percent of the voting population. Early voting was much higher at about 3,241 votes, for a difference of 1,091 votes or 51 percent higher than in the 2015 race. About 500 votes were cast on the May 6 election day, slightly lower (3 percent) than in 2015.
