This week has been an exciting one for those following the State Board of Education Place 10 race. As you may know one potential Democratic candidate, Lorenzo Sadun, ended his candidacy and endorsed his primary opponent, Judy Jennings.

On the Republican side Cynthia Dunbar, the current SBOE 10 Representative who was eligible to run for re-election, has also announced her intention not to seek the office again in 2010.  Education First has word that Austin attorney Brian Russell has also filed to run in the Republican primary for SBOE 10. Mr. Russell had not previously announced his candidacy and Education First will be sure to bring you more information about him in the coming weeks. Rebecca Osborne, who announced her SBOE 10 candidacy month ago, has also filed the paperwork for the Republican primary.
