It’s a good question and one that he has not been willing to answer. I have attempted to have a discussion with him but he has refused.

Gabriel is a buddy of former Trustee Scott Bowen and was recruited by Scott to run against Arturo Sanchez, one of the best Trustees the district has ever had. Even after a sound defeat in his reelection Bowen continues to meddle in CCISD elections as he did while on the board. As you might recall Bowen recruited 4 candidates to run against his fellow Trustees, everyone one of them were rejected by CCISD voters and they rejected Bowen himself. The board has been without chaos ever since.

So who is Gabriel and why is he running? It’s hard to understand since he is quick to block anyone who asks. Gabriel is/was a republican precinct chair until recently when he was wiped off by a 75/25 vote in the Republican primary. He is a firm supporter of Scott Bowen. He has filed paperwork claiming he will not raise or spend more than $1001 which should make you wonder who is going to finance his campaign. He claims to be a teacher although there is no evidence of him being certified. He has had a number of jobs lasting anywhere from a few months to a couple of years. He is currently associated with a Charter school in Houston and also has a job with a new media outlet KGTX in Galveston County. He has a Facebook page but will block you if you ask hard questions. His campaign ads are all AI generated and he does not have a website.

It is sad that the Republican Party and Scott Bowen hasn’t gotten the hint yet. CCISD does not want chaos. We want Trustees who are focused on parents, teachers, students, and taxpayers, not a political party. We want Trustees who focus on the district no matter what party they associated with.

Gabriel is not that candidate.

NOTE: I am a supporter of Arturo Sanchez and have volunteered for his campaign in the past.

Texas Congressman Brian Babin returned to the district from Congress last week and has not been seen since.

Brian Babin is in hiding. Instead of taking advantage of this Easter holiday and meeting with his constituents and business leaders Babin is probably hiding in someone’s basement afraid of having to defend Trump’s war with Iran. Since being elected over 10 years ago Babin has never met with his constituents instead focusing on the business community. Now with the stock market tanking, price of gasoline on the rise, and the Middle East in turmoil even meeting with the business community is risky. As one business owner said “That stupid ass kissing son of a bitch better not step foot in my restaurant!”.

Ok. No one said that but if he would step in a restaurant he probably wouldn’t get a warm welcome. If by chance you know where Brian Babin is going to be contact me at johncoby@sbcglobal.net so I can relay the information for those who wish talk with him.

BOLO: Bay Area Congressman Brian Babin. Approach with caution as he is armed with lies and misinformation.

OUCH! $575,000 down the drain.

Ft Bend County Judge KP George was found guilty of money laundering, a third degree felony punishable by 2-10 years in jail. He was guilty of funneling $46,000 from his donors to his personal account. That is less than 10% of what he spent on legal fees in his defense. He funneled $575,000 from his donors to three attorneys, Rusty Hardin, Jared Woodfill, and Terry Yates. Yates and Woodfill pictured to your left.

Rusty received $125,000, Yates $110,000, and Woodfill received $340,000 all for naught. These expenditures were from 7/24 – 2/26. During that same period he spent $660,875 most on legal fees. Prior to the court case George was a Democrat but changed to the Republican Party because it was probably more inline with his Republican Christian values. (lol) Democrats applauded the move and was glad to see him out the door. Unfortunately for George he was beaten like a wet mop in the Republican primary and will be removed from office after his sentencing.

I am sure KP will be thanking all of his donors for their hard earned money that ended in a conviction.
