Election Day 2018: The Results Are In For The Woodlands

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- The 2018 midterm election was one of the most closely watched in the last two decades, with many wondering just how the leadership could change in the State of Texas and in both chambers of the legislative branch.

As far as Congress is concerned, there would be no change as U.S. Rep Kevin Brady easily won a new term in the House of Representatives, defeating Tomball Democrat Steven David's first bid for elected office.

Brady, who has served in the House since 1997, was declared the winner with 5 percent of the precincts reporting with Brady winning nearly 132,000 votes, or 74 percent of the ballots to David's 44,388 ballots.

In the County Judges race, Republican Mark Keough easily defeated Jay Stittleburg, winning nearly 102,000 votes to Stittleburg's 33,510 of the early voting totals.

In the Precinct 2 Commissioners race, Republican incumbent Charlie Riley defeated Democrat Ron Keichline, with Riley winning 32,280 votes to Keichline's 8,752 votes.

In the Woodlands Township races, Brian Boniface defeated challenger Treva Taglieri, winning 66 percent of the ballots or 14,857 votes, to Taglieri's 7,679 votes in the Position 2 race on the Township board. Bruce Rieser, who serves in the Position 4 seat, won 16,425 votes and easily defeated Francis "Frank" Dargavage.

In the school board races in Conroe ISD Position 1, Dale R. Inman defeated a crowded field of three challengers, winning with 17,648 votes. In the Position 2 race, incumbent Ray Sanders defeated challenges from Kevin McZeal and April Andreski, winning just over 24,000 votes, or 63 percent of the ballots. Trustee Skeeter Hubert won the Position 3 race defeating challenger Jamie Quinn, winning 28,831 votes to Quinn's 13,670.

In the Tomball ISD election, Position 2 incumbent Michael Pratt defeated challenger Bob Fontenot, with Pratt winning 54 percent of the Harris County vote totals to Fontenot's 45 percent.
Trustees John McStravick and Mark Lewandowski also easily won their elections to the Tomball ISD board of trustees.
