Schoolcraft holds onto State Representative District 44 seat Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Republican incumbent Alan Schoolcraft will return to Austin after defeating Democratic Candidate Eric Norman in the race for Texas House District 44. The election, with the same results, marked a rematch from two years ago. However, prior to Schoolcraft and Norman going head to head, Schoolcraft first unseated longtime State Rep. John Kuempel for the Republican nomination. This time, Schoolcraft again carried both Guadalupe and Gonzales counties, maintaining his lead over Norman and securing another term representing the district. Schoolcraft received of the votes cast while Norman trailed with votes. Neither Schoolcraft nor Norman could be reached for comment following Tuesday night’s election results.
Councilman, continued. We have a lot of work to get done and pick up where we left off, especially when I left off back in district 3. Now it’s district number 5. So it’s a different environment, different area, and different issues that we have to kind of take head-on and spearhead. So we have a lot of work ahead of us. And when I say we, it’s myself and those who voted for me, those who supported me, and those who are going to continue to try to
make a difference in the community,” said Aviles. While the outcome is not what he had hoped for, Fletcher says he is still appreciative to those who showed up to the polls on his behalf. In a written statement to the Seguin Daily News, Fletcher says this journey was only a small part of his commitment to the Seguin community. “I congratulate Chris Aviles and wish him well as he represents District 5. I’m disappointed, but I’m grateful to Amber, our family, and everyone
who gave their time, contributed, or stood beside me. That support meant a lot to me, and I’ll remember it. Seguin is home, and I’ll keep showing up for the people here. I trust God’s plan, and I’ll keep doing my best to love my neighbor and be the man, husband, and father my family can count on,” stated Fletcher. Following the canvassing of votes, Aviles will be sworn into office later on this month. He replaces Councilman Paul Gaytan who chose not to seek re-election.

Navarro, continued. Reinhard led the race with 3,364 votes, followed by Jared Gallini with 3,101 votes, Kristen Green with 2,892 votes and Noah Webster with 2,411 votes. Hillarie Forister, who did not earn a seat, finished fifth with 2,012 votes. Reinhard, who led the race the entire night, says he is thankful for the amazing support shown throughout his campaign. “First of all, thank you very much. To the voters, I’m very honored that they’ve trusted me with another 4 years. I’m looking forward to working with the new ones coming on, whoever they may be. And I look forward to having a wonderful time, just continuing the progress that we’ve done with the board so far,” said Reinhard. Gallini, who finished second, says he too is excited and is thankful to all those who made it out to the polls. “First off, I’m really thankful for the opportunity and the trust that the community has put in me. I am thrilled to serve and represent them on the board. I am really eager to go to work and to do my part in helping Navarro grow and be the best. If the numbers are correct (and) Ms. Forister ends up not making a seat, I personally want to say that I am very thankful for the time I’ve spent working with her and learning from her. She was a former teacher here at Navarro. A lot of the information that she has shared in her campaign is also gonna help me a whole lot as I sit there and be one of the voices in the room, hopefully helping teachers as well, so she ran a great campaign. I look forward to keeping our traditions and culture and chat, and being that voice in the room,” said Gallini. Green, who followed third, says she can’t wait to get to work and is grateful for the opportunity to serve. “I really appreciate it. You know, honestly, it’s been an exciting journey to do this. And so I really appreciate everybody’s vote of confidence, and I’m really looking forward to being able to get on the board. And, you know, joining in with everybody that is already part of the board and making sure that I can put some Seguin, continued.

Webster, who secured the fourth and final seat, says he is honored by the vote of confidence and looks forward to Navarro’s future. “I’m just grateful to the voters of the Navarro ISD. I’m still humbled to have earned the trust of the voters, and I really do appreciate and owe a deep level of thanks to those who helped put out signs, hung door tags, and asked the hard questions, and I’m really just ready to get to work,” said Webster. Forister, who narrowly missed earning a seat, says she is still looking forward to supporting the district anyway she can. “It’s disappointing for sure. With 5 candidates for the positions, someone was going to have to be the one that doesn’t make it, and that was me tonight. I appreciate the support I received from my fellow candidates, the current board members, and my fellow teachers and friends. It doesn’t go unnoticed. I will still be involved in all things Navarro; my girls are here. They are actively involved in lots of things, and you’ll see my face around, whether it’s on the sidelines cheering for them, whether it’s in the concession stands, watching a theater performance, helping out with UIL academics, watching our band go to the state competition next week on November 11th. All of it is super exciting. I just look forward to being involved still. And whether it’s on the school board or not, there’s a plan for me. But I fully support the board. I think we have 4 great candidates who have been elected, and I hope they continue to work well with the other 3 and with our superintendent, because they all bring great things and great perspectives to our board,” said Forister. The election comes as the Navarro ISD Board of Trustees prepares for several changes. Longtime trustee Donna Gilliam, who has served on the board since June 2013, chose not to seek-reelection. Trustees Dr. Lacey Gosch and Joel Frederick also chose to step down following four-year and two-year terms, respectively. The newly elected trustees will be sworn into office later this month.

dollars and state matching funds. The additional funding is intended to help support classroom teachers, staff salaries, campus safety and everyday district operations as Seguin ISD continues to deal with rising costs and state mandates.

HAINES
Consuelo “Connie” Haines, age 84 of Seguin, went to be with the Lord, on October 29, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. Connie was born in Westbrook, Texas, on October 6, 1942, to Juanita (Gonzales), and Alcario Garcia. Wherever Connie went, she carried the good news of the Lord with her, sharing it with strangers, friends, neighbors, and her own family. Her love for the Lord was abundantly evident, flowing from her onto all those blessed enough to know her. She was a light in this world, and her faith was a beautiful reflection of His love. She was truly beautiful, but as Proverbs 31:30 reminds us, beauty is fleeting, while a woman who fears the Lord is worthy of praise. We find comfort in knowing she is now rejoicing in the presence of our Almighty, loving Father. Connie is preceded in death by her loving husband, Harold D. Haines,

First Human Bird Flu Death Of The Year Recorded In Washington State (Yakima, WA) -- A Washington state dairy farm worker has died as a result of bird flu, marking the first known fatality anywhere in the U.S. this year. The man reportedly had underlying health conditions and was one of three workers on a Yakima [[ Yak-uh-mah ]] County dairy farm that contracted bird flu from the cows. Health officials say person-to-person spread of bird flu has never been detected. Other workers at the farm, along with people in contact with the three people who got the virus, are being monitored for the disease. Study Shows Consistent Sleep Schedules Better For Heart Health (Dallas, TX) -- A new study shows maintaining a consistent sleep schedule is better for your heart health. The American Heart Association research finds changes in sleep timing from night to night over about a six-month period were linked to a roughly 20 to 23 percent higher risk of having serious heart issues. Also, a very long sleep cycle is being connected with a 55 percent higher risk of heart attack or stroke. The study’s lead researcher says consistent bedtimes, wake times, and sleep duration from night to night is a practical, actionable step anyone can take that may help protect their heart and blood vessels. Time Changes Disrupt Your Body Clock Impacting Mood And Health (College Station, TX) -- In most states, we’ve gained an extra hour of sleep by turning our clocks back to Standard Time but experts say any bi-annual time change can impact our health. Dr. David Earnest, a neuroscientist with Texas A&M Health and Science Center, says chronic dysregulation of the body’s Circadian rhythm has links to “ cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, as well as obesity and diabetes.” Dr. Earnest likes the idea of remaining on one time year-round but says those promoting Daylight Saving Time over Standard Time have it wrong. In his view, it’s easier for our biological clocks to synchronize and maintain body time when we’re on Standard Time. Ground Cinnamon Recalled In 14 States (Silver Spring, MD) -- The FDA says that SLR Food Distributions Inc. is recalling Wise Wife Brand Ground Cinnamon sold in several states. The FDA said the recall is due to “elevated levels of lead.” The agency said no illnesses have been linked to the cinnamon. Wise Wife Brand Cinnamon was distributed to retail and grocery stores across 14 states between September 8th, 2025 and June 28th of this year.
