Three trustees beat out a slate of candidates pushing for more accessible board elections.
Incumbents defeated a slate of challengers, including two former trustees, in the Southwest Independent School District board election Saturday. Trustees Florinda Bernal , Eugene James Sullivan Jr. and Daniel Ray Carrillo will retain their seats on the board, according to unofficial final tallies published by the district. The election was a comeback attempt by Pete Bernal and Yolanda Garza-Lopez , who were ousted from the school board in last year's election.
Carrillo, the board's newest trustee appointed in 2021, followed closely with 520, while Florinda Bernal, who has been on the board since 2008, received 479. Garza-Lopez came in fourth with 279 votes. Pete Bernal and Reyes Medina got 276 and 252 votes, respectively. Most local governments, including school districts, partner with the Bexar County elections office to conduct elections, but the mostly rural Southwest ISD uses the small city of Lytle, in Atascosa County for that purpose.
