Let’s talk about “watchdog.” A watchdog’s job is to protect. It is a very trusted creature and is given the responsibility to guard. Chad Canine is running for the school board position to do just that. To protect our teachers, children, and district as a whole from outside influences that distract from academics. 10/20/2022 12:00 AM

Woodcreek Election
Woodcreek Election
As a new resident in 2018 to Woodcreek, I quickly learned many positive aspects about Chrys Grummert. Early on in his time in Woodcreek, he began attending all the city’s council meetings. He listened attentively, took notes, and discussed in a professional and supportive method. He has always spent strong quality time doing the research that was and is needed to make wise and fair decisions. Soon, people began asking Chrys questions about discussions and decisions for a better understanding. As one who service on city council in Friendswood, TX, I appreciate the quality of time that Chrys gives as a member of Woodcreek City Council in reading, researching, reading and listening and serving as a resident of Woodcreek. I have strongly support Chrys’ run for office in the past and will continue to do so with this election, as well. Thank you, Laura Ewing 10/20/2022 12:00 AM
