Melissa Noriega
I have two more interviews for you for the now-elected HCAD Board positions, for which I remind you that election day is May 4 and early voting begins a week from today on April 22 and runs through April 30. Today’s candidate is a familiar name, former At Large City Council member and State Rep. Melissa Noriega. She worked for 27 years in HISD in various positions and for three years at Baker Ripley after that. She served on Council for three terms under Mayor Parker, chairing the Public Safety committee. I’ve known her for almost 20 years now and consider her a good friend. She is running for Position #2 and was endorsed by the Gulf Coast Area Labor Federation in that race. Here’s what we talked about:
PREVIOUSLY:
Pelumi Adeleke, Position 3
Austin Pooley, Position 2
See here and here for what we know about these HCAD positions. I will have one more interviews on Wednesday this week. Early voting for this race and the SD15 special election runs from April 22-30.
I’ve always liked her…watching countless city council meetings, I liked her thought process and the questions she would ask to form a decision. What a contrast to the many idiots that have been on council over the years.
I met her while I was running for office and told her she was my favorite councilmember, and why, she was taken back and I think appreciated hearing something positive instead of a complaint.
I wish her well.
