Elections office adding new sites, extending hours for early voting
Elections Administrator shares reminders about cell phones, political gear plus sample ballots
(Guadalupe County) -- Early voting in the November 5 Presidential and General Election begins today. Early voting polling locations throughout the county will be open through Friday, Nov. 1.
Guadalupe County Elections Administrator Lisa Hayes shared a few changes and reminded voters of how the process works. The first is an extension of the hours to cast that ballot early.
“We changed things up a little this year because we are expecting a higher turnout because there’s more intertest in the presidential election. So, this weekend Monday through Friday, our hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. instead of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. like we normally do. Our hours on Saturday for voting are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday is 12 to 6 p.m. and then all next week Monday through Friday the hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. So, we are hoping it gives the voters enough time –working around their work schedule or
whatever it is they got going so that we have the availability for them to come and vote as they need to,” said Hayes.
Hayes says that additional polling sites are next on the list.
“We also have nine early voting locations this time instead of the normal six again to try to make it convenient for our early voters. We’ve added an early voting site in Marion at the Marion ISD Tondre Room. We’ve added the Seguin ISD Admin Buidling and the Selma City Hall so we’ve tried to cover all sides of the county to give voters more options and then of course, we have the New Berlin Community Center, the Elections Office Annex in Schertz, the Cibolo Fire Station #2, the Central Texas Technology Center, Redemptive Grace Ministries and then of course, here, of course here at the main early voting location (Guadalupe County Elections Office) in Seguin,” said Hayes.

Guadalupe County residents to consider a host of ballot items on Nov. 5
Federal, state, county, city plus school ballot items on the agenda

Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – Local voters are reminded of the list of candidates they will be choosing during the Nov. 5 Presidential and General Election.
Of course, the featured contest is the race for the President of the United States. Voters begin heading to the polls early today for the contest between Former President and Republican Candidate Donald Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris.
In addition to voting for a presidential candidate, Texas voters will also cast their ballots in various Texas Legislature races. One of those races is the seat for District 44 in the Texas House of Representatives. Democratic Candidate Eric Norman and Republican Alan Schoolcraft are both vying for the position. Both look to replace longtime State Representative John Kuempel, who Schoolcraft defeated for the Republican nomination in March. The seat will be decided by voters across District 44, which includes both Guadalupe and Gonzales counties.
Guadalupe County voters will also have a couple of ballot items. The first is the election of Guadalupe County Tax Assessor-Collector. The race includes incumbent Republican candidate Daryl John and challenger Jesus Trinidad Jr.
Those living in Guadalupe County Pct. 1 will also elect their new representative on the commissioners court. Candidates include Republican Jacqueline “Jackie” Ott, Democratic Candidate Nahomie Alanis, and Libertarian Candidate Nolan Schmidt.
Meanwhile, Seguin voters will also weigh in on who should be mayor and, depending on where they live, who will represent them in the city council.
Seguin Mayor Donna Dodgen faces challenger Francisco “Frank” Luciano Herrera this November.
The District 2 city council race will feature David Eveld and Mario Hernandez.
The District 2 seat is currently vacant following the death of Councilwoman Sonia Mendez earlier this year.
Two candidates will also face off in the District 4 council race.
The candidates include John Carlsson and Ileen Rangel.
Rangel is the wife of current District 4 Councilman Chris Rangel, who is no longer eligible to run for reelection due to term limits.
A trio of candidates will appear on the ballot for District 6 seat on the Seguin City Council.
Those candidates include Incumbent Monica Carter, Felix Moreno and Suzanne Wynn.
Although there are no contested school board races, Seguin ISD voters will also head to the polls to consider the Seguin ISD’s Voter Approval Tax Ratification Election (VATRE).
Voters will be asked to vote “For” or “Against” Proposition A on the November 5 ballot.
The election is the district’s attempt at addressing a $4 million deficit. District officials say if voters
approve, the tax ratification would lower the maintenance and operation tax rate by 1.38 cents to just over $1.10 per $100,000 of taxable property value. Even though it lowers the rate, they say the district would actually be able to capture more revenue from the state -maximizing that level and addressing many of their financial concerns.
Navarro ISD voters will also consider filling three at-large positions on the school board and one two-year unexpired trustee term.
Those running for one of the three available school board seats include Kimberly Jones, Kristen Green, Becki Stephenson, Kyle Hunter, Incumbent Melissa Sartain, Megan Ossinger, Incumbent Clint Scheib, and Jared Gallini.
Those running for the unexpired seat include Russell Trotti, Jacob Coppedge, Matthew Reed, and Joel Frederick.
Marion voters will also take the next steps toward their future by electing five new alderman positions on its city council. As reported by KWED, the city of Marion has been operating with almost zero representation.

Guadalupe County Commissioner Pct. 1 & Seguin Mayor
The Seguin Daily News begins its highlight of the local candidates appearing on the November 5, 2024, General Election. Each candidate was asked to respond to the following three questions. Early voting begins today, Monday, Oct. 21, and runs through Friday, Nov.1. Today's featured contest is the race for Guadalupe County Commissioner Pct. 1 and Seguin Mayor. Commissioner candidates begin on page 4.
CANDIDATES FOR SEGUIN MAYOR
Candidate: Francisco “Frank” Luciano Herrera
What initially inspired you to run for elected office?
I want to get involved in revitalizing Seguin Proper. I believe it is due time that the residents see a benefit from the taxes they have paid.
What are the biggest challenges facing the winner of this seat, and how are you prepared to address those challenges?
There are two main areas of concern. The first is the area bordered by IH 10, Highway 123bypass, and Tx 46 to the Powerplant restaurant (Seguin Proper.) I have not seen any meaningful revitalization efforts in the 26 years I have known this community. The three main impacts are political indifference to Seguin Proper, the three bypasses, and the canopy of darkness.
The solutions are:
• Political indifference, deploying this candidate as mayor,
• The three bypasses bring white-collar jobs rooted here, in Seguin,
• Canopy of darkness reconfiguring the street light to mimic the lighting the I-10 businesses have installed. Herrera, pg. 6
Candidate: Donna Dodgen (Incumbent)
What initially inspired you to run for elected office?
As the current Mayor, I feel it is important for continuity and a continuation of the plans in place. I have a tract record for helping smart growth, communication, civic involvement, positivity, and leadership. I want to continue to make a difference in my hometown, the lives of us who live, work and love Seguin. I have seen that local involvement can improve our community and I want to continue that trajectory!
What are the biggest challenges facing the winner of this seat, and how are you prepared to address those challenges?
Our citizens want quality of life items as well as repaired and improved infrastructure and we are bringing those as well building parks and putting budget money and planned projects to repair flooding, water, roads, rain age and sewer concerns in place. Our city is the 21st fastest growing City within the US at our current population so growth management is paramount. I will continue to address the growing pains with plans, projects, budget items, listening to the community, involvement and transparency. Dodgen, pg. 6
CANDIDATES FOR GUADALUPE COUNTY COMMISSIONER PCT. 1
What initially inspired you to run for elected office?
I love my community. I married into a 6 generation Guadalupe County family who believes in hard work and service. I want to help the County stay conservative and prosperous through strong leadership so it remains an ideal place for our future generations. I am very much a people person and intend to be a responsive, open line of communication with our citizens to listen to their suggestions and concerns.
What are the biggest challenges facing the winner of this seat, and how are you prepared to address those challenges?
Lower spending on items that are not high priority to taxpayers while allocating sufficient resources to maximize community safety and prosperity. As a strong fiscal conservative, my approach is financial responsibility regarding taxpayer dollars while prioritizing the SAFETY of our community, EDUCATION for our children, and QUALITY OF ROADS, especially now with the staggering growth we are experiencing. We must foster responsible growth with sound infrastructure, preserve our long-standing cultural values and respect landowner rights. My prosecutorial background brings profound awareness of the resources law enforcement needs to keep our neighborhoods safe for our children and future generations. In the same spirit, education is the backbone of any thriving community. I am committed to working closely with our educators and parents to ensure our schools have the resources they need, and our children have the education they deserve.
Ott, pg. 6
What initially inspired you to run for elected office?
What initially inspired me to run for Guadalupe County commissioner was growing up here and experiencing firsthand how much the county has changed. Watching this growth made me realize how vital it is to start planning now for future generations, ensuring that we preserve the heart of our community while making space for new opportunities. I also believe we need a new generation of leadership— one that brings fresh ideas and a new perspective to address the evolving needs of our county. It’s not just about managing growth; it’s about ensuring that everyone has a voice in shaping the future. This deep sense of responsibility and desire for meaningful change is what drove me to step forward and run for office.
What are the biggest challenges facing the winner of this seat, and how are you prepared to address those challenges?
The biggest challenge facing the winner of this seat is managing Guadalupe County’s rapid growth, which constituents frequently raise as a concern. I’m prepared to address this by focusing on infrastructure improvements, such as widening and maintaining narrow roads to reduce traffic congestion. Additionally, I will work with developers to ensure that new subdivisions are built with sustainability in mind, providing long-term benefits for the community. By prioritizing smart growth and responsible planning, we can ensure the county thrives while preserving its character for future generations.
Alanis, pg. 6
What initially inspired you to run for elected office?
As both a native and lifelong resident of this county, I have seen it grow within the 33 years of my life. With the growth, I believe in working in the growth while staying very fiscally conservative as well as protecting the small businesses which are a basic cornerstone of the county.
Also, one growth that is barely talked about is the growth of the special needs community here. I believe the county can partner up with local nonprofits who helps the special needs community and create a non- profit outreach program across the county to help connect the community with the resources and connections they need that programs within the state are not helping with.
What are the biggest challenges facing the winner of this seat, and how are you prepared to address those challenges?
I believe the biggest challenge will be addressing the numerous concerns of the community. We have a growing population within this county, both within the rural and urban areas of the county, and the growing population will be filled with more concerns than ever before. I believe that by listening to every concern and working together with the other commissioners and the county judge to address and find resolutions for any concerns while keeping said resolutions to be as fiscally conservative as possible.
What do you believe makes you the best candidate for the job? In other words, what do you believe sets you apart from your opponents?
Schmidt, pg. 6
This election looks to restore the city’s operation. Nine candidates will be vying for one of the five available positions. Those candidates include Jena Rodriguez, Stanley Stevens, Phil Karrer, Karen Mills, Jorge Olea, Jeremiah Burns, Kerry Gutierrez, Carl Martin, and Jerry Penshorn.
Each of the local candidates will be featured this week during the KWED Candidates Corner available online at SeguinToday.com. Today’s featured candidates include the race for Seguin Mayor and Guadalupe County Commissioner Pct. 1.
Elections, continued.
In addition to these changes, Hayes is adding a few reminders.
“The most important thing for voters to know is in order to vote, then must have a photo ID and the Texas Driver’s License is the one that we see the most but they could also use their military ID or their license to carry or their passport if they have those items. So, that’s really what we need. They need them to bring their ID and I’d like them to also please bring their patience because I suspect we are going to have some long lines despite our best efforts of over staffing. There’s only so many people that we can process at one time so I’m really asking that voters come with a patient frame of mind and just let us get through everybody as quickly and as efficiently as we can,” said Hayes.
Hayes says she is also reminding voters that the law will be enforced at all polling locations. She says one of the enforcements involves cell phones.
“I think one of the things that I’m concerned about is there is no recording devices or electioneering allowed within 100 feet of the polling locations. What most people don’t realize is when they are standing in line at the polling location, unless the line if very long, they are actually standing in line within 100 feet of the polling location and so that means unfortunately they are not allowed to have their phones out and
use them while they are standing in line if they are within that 100 feet. That 100 feet is marked by a sign that says ‘Distance Marker: No electioneering or recording devices inside this line.’ So, I just want voters to be aware that part of our job when we are conducting eelctions is to abide by the law and so we have to enforce that. So, if we come out from one of our polls and ask them to put their phones away, I ask them to just please be respectful of the fact that this isn’t us trying to be difficult. It is the law and we are required to enforce it. So just go into it knowing that. If they want to bring a sample ballot, they can absolutely bring a (paper) sample ballot but they will not be able to come in with a sample ballot on their phone and use their phone, so I just want the voters to go into it knowing that that is going to happen. They can’t wear political t-shirts inside the polling place or within a 100 feet so that is the other thing to be aware of,” said Hayes.
Curbside voting will also be available at each early-voting polling location. Those unable to get out of their vehicles are encouraged to call the number available on the sign outside.
Those wishing to print their sample ballot are encouraged to visit the elections office website at co.guadalupe.tx.us/elections. Those with other questions about the election process are asked to call the Elections Office at (830) 303-6363.
Ready To Start Planning Your Final Wishes?
The second concern is the growth outside of Seguin Proper. We need to be careful and listen to the neighbors. They have raised concerns about the impacts on their wells and municipal expenditures in providing infrastructure to facilitate the growth.
The solutions are:
• Listen to the neighbors,
• Shift cost to the developers when appropriate.
What do you believe makes you the best candidate for the job? In other words, what do you believe sets you apart from your opponents?
I am not an associated person, but I am true to my point of view. I am firm in my intent and vision for the future of my community.
What do you believe makes you the best candidate for the job? In other words, what do you believe sets you apart from your opponents?
Experience sets me apart - I was previously on city council for 6 years, am the current mayor, I have experience and involvement in many board/commissions, I attend many community events, am a positive advocate for Seguin and believe we deserve the very best! The goal is how can we make it work and do it together!
Cooperation with our other governmental organizations, school districts, economic development committees, and the citizens themselves will ensure we are making the best use of our resources. Guadalupe County is growing at an exorbitant rate which requires a forward thinking, smart business approach to manage the influx of population. As commissioners, we can negotiate terms of agreements with developers in order to maximize quality of life for all constituents. An essential part of this is preparing for our future. The importance of farming and ranching in our society cannot be overstated and is the foundation for this community’s culture. Many citizens are raising concerns about having enough food and water supply for all of the people already here, much less those who may be coming in the future. A thriving community has to have enough for the people living there just like a thriving community must have good quality education. Community engagement, effective budgeting, and proactive measures are crucial for the achievement of these goals.
What do you believe makes you the best candidate for the job? In other words, what do you believe sets you apart from your opponents?
My experience and education. I am the only candidate who is uniquely experienced in the multiple areas that encompass the commissioner role. I served for years as an attorney for the county, and am familiar with our county departments from the inside already. I know what we can do to help them stay successful and intend to have great working relationships with all of them. I am also the only candidate who has served in a law enforcement capacity and truly understands the resources necessary to ensure they can do their job to keep us safe. It would be much more difficult to have that level of understanding without having experienced it on a daily basis. I am currently a real estate/property attorney who deals with cases about construction, building, purchase, sales, including contracts and compliance during process. I also have a business degree from Texas A&M University, have experience making decisions in a court room setting, and our family business does road work construction. I prioritize public safety, fiscal responsibility, education, and quality roads for our citizens, and I have the skill set to make it happen. My experience as an attorney for Guadalupe County and public servant has shown me firsthand how impactful the decisions of Commissioners Court are for the community’s livelihood. I truly care about this community and representing the citizens!
What do you believe makes you the best candidate for the job? In other words, what do you believe sets you apart from your opponents?
What makes me the best candidate for the job is that I embody a new generation of leadership that is rooted in empathy, innovation, and a genuine commitment to serving our community. My bilingual skills enable me to advocate for all residents effectively, ensuring that even the most marginalized voices are heard and represented in our local government.
While I may lack extensive traditional experience, my passion for community service is profound. I understand the unique struggles and aspirations of our residents because I’ve lived them. This connection fuels my determination to create inclusive policies and initiatives that reflect the true needs of our diverse population. I bring a fresh perspective, a willingness to challenge the status quo, and an unwavering dedication to fostering a future where every individual in Guadalupe County can thrive. This passion and perspective are what truly make me the best candidate for this position.
I have experience on executive boards from non-profit helping the special needs community to political with the Libertarian Party on the state and local level, and with being on those executive boards, I have been more of a listener than a speaker. My decision making is based on hearing all sides, and deciding what is best for the county on the aspects of both fiscal and personal liberty for all citizens within the county. I also have a strong connection with knowledge on the struggles of small businesses based on growing up with a small business family a grand majority of my life when my parents owned the Country Cabaret and Elm Creek RV Park before they retired from owning small businesses.
Seguin boys force play-in game; Marion
Bulldogs Extend Win Streak to Three by Routing Austin College behind Bosanko’s Career Day
Bryce Hayes - TLU Sports Information & Sports Marketing
SHERMAN, Texas -- Texas Lutheran dismantled Austin College 55-17 on Saturday at Jerry Apple Stadium as quarterback Caden Bosanko (San Antonio/East Central) finished with 291 total yards and six touchdowns with four coming on the ground.
As a team, the Bulldogs (5-1, 4-1 SCAC) combined to run for a season-high 341 yards and six touchdowns on the ground in the victory. The 341-yard rushing output is the most under Neal LaHue and the most since the Bulldogs rushed for 389 against McMurry in the spring 2021 season. Bosanko finished the game with a career-high 137 rushing yards with his four rushing touchdowns tying Kyle Grona (ETBU, 2017) for the most-ever by a TLU signal-caller and his 24 points accounted for ties for second most in a single-game in program history. Jackson Bennett (Rockwall/Rockwall) (3-15) and Landon Gill (San Antonio/Madison) (1-13) also found paydirt for the Bulldogs, which closed the day with an average of 8.1 yards per tote (42 carries).
In addition to the ground attack, Bosanko accounted for 154 yards and two touchdowns through the air on 9-of-16 passing, with Caleb Camarillo (San Antonio/Southside) leading the wide receivers with four catches for 88 yards and two touchdowns. Defensively, Tyler Ward (Woodway/Bishop Louis Reicher) had a game-high 10 tackles including five solo stops and a sack.
The 55-point scoring output is the highest point tally of the Neal LaHue era and most in a single game since a 57-point outburst against McMurry in 2019.
TLU got on the board early with the first of Bosanko’s four rushing scores in the first before the ‘Roos would respond with a field goal. It would take just one play the following drive as Bosanko found Caleb Camarillo on a slant that would go 65 yards for a touchdown.
TLU would find the end zone three times on the ground in the second quarter with Bosanko scoring twice and Jackson Bennett adding another as the Bulldogs began to pull away with a 34-10 halftime lead.
Bosanko would score one more time on the ground in the third for the Bulldogs only score in the period before finding Camarillo for their second scoring connection of the day in the fourth. Quarterback Landon Gill would score the final touchdown for the Bulldogs with a 13-yard run with 3:30 remaining in the game.
Texas Lutheran returns to Seguin for a homecoming showdown with McMurry at Bulldog Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 16. Kickoff is set for 4 PM and will be broadcast on TLU’s YouTube Channel, TLU+, along with KWED 1580 AM. Saturday Texas Lutheran Athletics will also induct four former student-athletes: former TLU sprinter Monique Anderson ‘14, former TLU women’s golfer Angela Aufderhaar (Hisey) ‘10, former TLU quarterback Sean Salinas ‘08, and former TLU volleyball player and sprinter Vanecia Spencer ‘14 into the TLU Athletics Hall of Fame in a halftime ceremony. Prior to Saturday’s game, Texas Lutheran will recognize the 1974 NAIA National Championship team for its 50th anniversary as well as Athletics Wall of Honor recipients Tim Clark and Tom Sedlacek.

Protest Over Kellogg’s Artificial Ingredients
(Battle Creek, MI) -- Kellogg’s is in the hot-seat with over a thousand protesters demanding they stop using harmful additives in their breakfast cereals. Led by activist Vani Hari, the protestors gathered outside the Michigan headquarters Tuesday to make their demands known and to serve up a petition. In 2015 the food giant promised to remove artificial ingredients and colors, such as Red 40 and Yellow 5 among others, from their products by 2018. But organizers say they haven’t done this in the U.S. as they have in other countries such as Canada and Japan where those dyes are banned. Kellogg’s response is that their products abide by federal regulations.
Link Between Common IUD Devices And Breast Cancer
(Undated) -- A new study suggests common IUD birth control devices may raise the risk of breast cancer. A preview of the new research was published in JAMA. The Daily Mail reports women who used hormonal IUDs which slowly release the contraceptive levonorgestrel [[ leh-vuh-nor-jeh-struhl ]] were 40 percent more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer within at least five years than women on other forms of birth control. The risk went up to 80 percent for women who used the IUD’s for over a decade. It’s estimated that about one in five sexually active women in the US use IUDs. .
Recycle Your Pumpkin
(Vancouver, WA) -- Local officials are reminding Washingtonians not to throw their pumpkins in the trash after Halloween. Health officials say around 60 percent of pumpkins go in the garbage and end up in landfills, where they produce methane. You can toast the pumpkin seeds as a snack, or turn it into a puree to use in fall recipes. You can recycle a pumpkin in a yard debris waste bin or cut it into small pieces and turn them into compost for your garden.
Houston ISD Confirms Case Of Meningococcal Disease At Elementary School
(Houston, TX) -- Houston ISD is confirming a positive case of meningococcal disease at a school in southwest Houston. The case was reported at Bonham Elementary School on Braes River Drive, in a neighborhood south of Houston Christian University. District officials say the school notified families and provided information to students and staff who may have been in contact with the infected person. HISD is working with the Houston Health Department to deal with this development.
