Seguin ISD splits support for Guadalupe Appraisal District ballot; board awards 318 votes to Dr. Alfred Burns
Summary
Trustees allocated Seguin ISD’s 318 appraisal‑district votes via resolution, awarding all votes to Dr. Alfred Burns after discussion; the motion passed 4–1 with two abstentions and one opposed.
Seguin ISD trustees considered the official ballot that allocates the district’s 318 votes for the Guadalupe County Appraisal District board for the 2026–2029 term.
Administration explained the mechanics: the district has 318 votes to distribute among nominated candidates; the ballot allows any allocation, including all votes to a single candidate. Trustee Guerra moved that the board award all 318 votes to Dr. Alfred Burns; the motion was seconded and discussed. During discussion some trustees noted multiple qualified candidates and the math impact of voting strategies; Trustee Guerra and others advocated for consolidating the district’s voting power behind Burns.
On a roll call, the motion passed 4–1 with two abstentions: Dwyer, Fredenden, Guerra and Wright voted in favor; Miller opposed; Duncan and Burns abstained. The resolution and ballot will be submitted per Guadalupe Appraisal District procedures.
The board also discussed candidate geography (which nominees reside inside Seguin ISD) and noted the district’s role as one of the larger voting entities on the appraisal district board.
