The first candidates’ forum in the race for two Fort Bend Independent School District board seats takes place tonight from 7-9 p.m. at the Sugar Land Marriott Hotel on Town Square.
The event is being hosted by the Fort Bend Employee Federation, which represents about 2,000 district employees.
Three candidates – Bruce Albright, Rodrigo Carreon and Marilyn Glover – are running for the Position 6 board seat being vacated by Steve Smelley.
Two candidates are running for Position 2 – incumbent trustee and Board President Sonal Bhuchar, and challenger Carlos Cain.
Candidates participating in tonight’s forum will have the opportunity to address issues affecting the school district, as they vie for the endorsement of the Fort Bend Employee Federation and affiliated Texas Federation of Teachers.
The public is invited to attend the forum.

Support to elect FBISD Pos. 2 Mr. Cain and Pos. 6 Mr. Albright or Mr. Carreon voice for leadership.
Right on viewpoint!!!! I too oppose “MarycClure misleadership vote”!!!! (See #3) as I oppose anyone who misleads, but I can’t oppose one person’s vote because we live in the wonderful democracy of the U.S.A.
…but pray tell, who is “MarycClure”?
Oppose MarycClure misleadership vote! To Prohibit bond debit, voiceless leaders.
It limits or cuts public attendance or voice, without s 24 hour press notice! Press schedule notice needs tobe release in one ot two weeks before.
I plan to vote for Sonal Bhuchar and Marilyn Glover.
