Johnson County Board votes to reappoint John Wood and support Brandon Potts candidacy

In a decisive move during the Burleson Independent School District Board Meeting on December 9, 2024, the board voted to support John Wood and Brandon Potts for positions on the Johnson County Appraisal District Board. Board member Mike emphasized Wood's strong performance over the past year, advocating for his continued role to enhance transparency within the district. Potts, a local resident, also received backing after attending the meeting to express his interest in the position.

The board allocated 214 votes to Wood and 500 votes to Potts, reflecting a clear commitment to local representation in the appraisal district. The motion was met with unanimous support, highlighting the board's responsiveness to community input, as several residents voiced their opinions during the meeting.

Additionally, the board addressed the Tarrant County Appraisal District, where only 26 votes were cast out of 5,000 eligible, underscoring a significant disparity in community engagement compared to Johnson County. The board subsequently voted to allocate all 26 votes to Fred Campos for the Tarrant Appraisal District, ensuring that local voices are represented even with lower turnout.

The meeting concluded with a call for unity and participation, as board members expressed gratitude to residents for their involvement and reiterated the importance of community engagement in decision-making processes. This proactive approach aims to foster transparency and accountability within the appraisal districts, ultimately benefiting the Burleson community.
