CM Jack Christie
CM Jack Christie is serving his first term on Council in At Large #5, becoming one of only four people in the term limits era to defeat a sitting incumbent when he nipped former CM Jolanda Jones in a runoff. Previously, he had narrowly lost to Jones in a runoff in 2009, and removed himself from the running for what was then the open seat in AL5 in 2007 after residency issues came up. He served two terms on the State Board of Education in the 1990s – it turns out he was my SBOE representative, something I came to realize last year as I looked into the history of that SBOE district. He also served on the Spring Branch ISD Board of Trustees. He serves on several Council committees, including Budget & Fiscal Affairs and Public Safety. Here’s what we talked about:
