Election Day Results

Voters in the BCISD school district passed a $27.5 million bond for a new performance center at the high school. Superintendent Mike Kelly said, “We extend our sincere and heartfelt thanks for your overwhelming support in passing the bond. Your belief in our students and the importance of supporting the arts is truly appreciated.

This investment will provide our Cardinals with space for their talents to truly shine. Imagine the expanded opportunities for curriculum, workshops, master classes, and additional performances this Visual & Performing Arts Center will offer, right here at Bridge City High School!”

There will be a new city councilman in Orange as George Mortimer, who has spent many years on the EDC board, will take the seat vacated by Caroline Hennigan.

“I want to thank all those that supported both Reginald and me in our City election,” Mortimer told KOGT. “I am honored and ready to serve everyone in Orange. Let’s work together to grow and continue to build a community for Families to thrive.”

Mary McKenna will return to her seat on the Orange City Council. “I want to thank all of my supporters. I’m honored to serve each of you and our city.”
