MC Exclusive: Sign Wars Mark The Start Of Early Voting

It looks like the Missouri City and FBISD elections are in full swing. Much like last years races the sign wars have begun in earnest (click the title link above for background). For instance, just this past weekend in Brightwater, district C challenger Kevin Tunstall's signs were removed from homeowners yards in Brightwater by Gibson supporters, the Owen endorsed/backed candidate. Across town in the district A race it was reported that similar activity had taken place in the neighborhood of Eunice Reiter (the district A incumbent).

During the mayoral races last year signs were ravaged by supporters of the mayor. Click the title link to get that historical perspective from Fort Bend Now. Kevin Tunstall, the district C reform candidate stated that signs that had been requested by homeowners had been removed from their yards and replaced with Gibson signs (Gibson's campaign is being personally handled by the special interest backed mayor of MC). Tunstall said he was in the process of confirming and replacing the signs after talking to the victimized homeowners. "I can't believe supporters of my opponent would go on someones private property and actually, without permission, remove my signs and replace them with Ms. Gibsons. This is not only illegal it maybe criminal tresspass and certainly can be viewed as stealing, if not allowed by those individual homeowners." Tunstall said.

Kevin further urged Missouri City residents to get out and vote today (Monday). Early voting has started and with the return of the sign wars, apparently in full swing. Get out and vote and change this type of politics here in MC!
