Alvin ISD board certifies May 3 trustee election; Roberson and Harris declared winners
Summary
The board canvassed and certified May 3 trustee election returns, declaring Brian Roberson winner for Position 4 and Cheryl Harris winner for Position 5; trustees welcomed new and returning members and one trustee used the certification time to deliver an on-record statement about race and leadership in public life.
The Alvin ISD Board of Trustees canvassed and certified the May 3, 2025 trustee election results, declaring Brian Roberson the winner for Position 4 (58.08% to Regan Peterson’s 41.92%) and Cheryl Harris the winner for Position 5 (53% to Talisa Kiel’s 47%). The board moved to certify the results and voted to declare the winners.
District staff told trustees the ballot board reported five provisional ballots, two of which were counted; staff attached the canvass reports to the meeting materials and noted the results were unofficial until certified by the board.
After the certification, one trustee offered extended remarks on public service, saying political attacks intensify when candidates ‘‘look like me’’ and urging the board to lead by example in practicing empathy and honest dialogue. Trustees expressed gratitude to incoming and returning trustees and welcomed them to the board.
The board’s certification vote was recorded as passing; no contest or further legal challenges were announced during the meeting.
Next procedural steps for newly elected trustees—such as taking the oath of office or seating dates—were not specified in the presentation materials provided during the meeting.
