The Sun Reports On The Tunstall Race For Mo-City Council

Kevin Tunstall, a healthcare administrator and six-year resident of Missouri City, has filed for that city's District C council seat.

The position is currently held by Bob Burton, who is not running for re-election.

Tunstall said that he decided to be a candidate because he believes that residents are tired of controversy on City Council and that there are "misplaced priorities" in Missouri City's government.

He urged voters to support his platform of lower taxes, increased economic opportunities, and change.

"We must move away from the power plays and pandering to special interests that now control our civic agenda, and get back to doing the people's business," Tunstall said. "I will be an independent voice in the council guided by the principles of limited government and fiscal responsibility. " . . . (get the entire story by clicking the title link above).

Comment--Although Sienna & Sienna area residents can't vote in the city races of Arcola or Mo-City it is important to remember we have an interest in those races (the airport expansion/road diversion issues in Arcola and development issues with MC). Please support Mr. Hilton & Ms. Rojas along with Jim DeVoge as independent candidates in those races (not EDC backed). You can volunteer to block-walk make phone calls etc. for these candidates or the Mo-City challengers Rodney Griffin, Lou Hunter & Kevin Tunstall. E-mail us at responsible_dvlpmnt@yahoo.com to find out how to volunteer and help these candidates who have sworn off the special interest funding (they need your help to take back local control). We can vote in the school board races and have endorsed Noel Pinnock, a Missouri City educator with long-term experience in the schools at all levels (he also has kids in the system). Please look into these races and decide for yourself.
