APPEARS DUNBAR WILL NOT SEEK RE-ELECTION TO SBOE

SREC member Brian Russell says she recruited him to run for her open seat.

This story has been updated since its original posting.

Republican Cynthia Dunbar, a lightning rod for controversy on the State Board of Education for her ultra-conservative views, appears to have told supporters she will not run for a second term on the board and likely will be replaced on the ballot by Austin intellectual property attorney Brian Russell, who currently serves on the State Republican Executive Committee.

Mrs. Dunbar’s campaign website can be found at http://www.cynthiadunbar.com but still contains information relating to the 2006 SBOE contest.
