Plácido Gómez
We wrap up our week of HISD election interviews with Plácido Gómez, who is running to succeed Judith Crus in HISD District VIII. A native of New Mexico and a graduate of Rice University, Gómez was a student volunteer at several HISD schools before becoming a math teacher in San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley, earning a master’s degree in Education Policy and Management along the way. He worked for Beto’s campaigns in 2018 and 2022, and in between he did education, non-profit, and government consulting while volunteering for HISD’s Ascending To Men program at Chavez High School. Here’s what we talked about:
