Comment: Sienna area residents should seriously consider voting in the district elections. Although Sienna Plantation residents can't participate in the Missouri City council races, some local homeowners are actively supporting city candidates that support our issues (Landfill Opposition, Repeal Ordinance 46-4, No More High Density Multi-family Housing, Pushing for a healthcare facility for our city and our long promised firestation). If you can't vote in the Mo-City races then consider supporting the candidates now running against those on council who voted 5-2 for more apartments here in our community and the increases in our MUD bond debt through our Master MUD 1 (unelected MUD board).

Contact these candidates to support them: Rodney Griffin (District A), Kevin Tunstall (District C), & Lou Hunter (District B). See their info below:
