We have a special show in store today.

Early voting in Texas’s Joint City and School Elections starts Monday. Today we’ll hear from the candidates for Place Four. There are four of them.

Navy veteran Benjamin Baylie is a small business owner who advocates for streamlining the processes around local development as an approach to addressing Abilene’s Housing Crisis.

Rich Lyles touts his experience navigating federal funding and infrastructure as a key part of his qualifications for seeking a seat on the City Council.

Allison Carroll is a small business owner who has served on a variety of boards and committees, and says her experiences and community service inform her approach to serving.

Tammy Fogle has run for office multiple times—and is a regular participant during the public comment portion of Abilene’s school board and city council meetings.
