There are three contested races: Brownfield ISD At Large trustee incumbent Edgar Rivera Jr. is being challenged by Matthew Valdonado, City of Wellman council member incumbent Maria Fraire is being challenged by C.J Campos and Chase Fleming, and Meadow ISD trustee incumbent Scott Caswell is being challenged by J’Bob Jowers and Christopher Castilleja. She pointed out there are three open positions: Brownfield Regional Medical Center has two open spots, Brownfield ISD District 1 and City of Wellman have an open spot. The deadline for filing for a spot was on Friday and the deadline for write-in was Tuesday, February 22. Valentin explained what would happen if those positions are left open after the deadline. “If there is just one in Brownfield ISD and City of Wellman they can appoint someone after the election period is over. When they do their other paperwork, they can appoint someone if they choose too, the board will,” she said. “As far as the hospital, it just depends on their by-laws. I’m trying to get in with some paperwork, I have reached out to Evan Palmer who is Brad Moore the previous attorney’s secretary. Once we get the paperwork and see exactly what their by-laws state and how their election is ran in detail, then we will know where to go from there.”

For the past two weeks the Parks and Recreation and Street employees have been working on cleaning up the tension basin located in-between East Lake Street and Grace Street. Parks and Recreation Director Scott Jackson spoke on how the project came to pass. “The deal was the park of the tension basin had been overgrown for several years. We had been looking at that to do some clean up anyways,” he said. “We had an opportunity when things were slow, we took the opportunity to go down there with some machinery, chainsaws to cut all that back so you can travel through there and not feel like someone is going to jump out the bushes and kill you. We also cleaned up a bunch of the garbage and trash that washed down into the tension basin, which had been there for years. We constructed that bridge not for ascetics but for safety. Now that it is cleaned up there will be people once they find out it has been cleaned up traveling through there. So we wanted to make sure they had a safe place to travel over that 15 foot ravine that is there. That is why we did that.”
