FORT WORTH — Tarrant Regional Water District is guaranteed to see at least two new faces on its fiveseat- board after the upcoming May election.
In pursuit of other opportunities, current board members James Hill and Mary Kelleher have not filed to run for re-election. That leaves two seats for the taking and another contested seat held by incumbent president Leah King. King has filed to defend her seat, and faces challenges from newcomers Skylar O’Neil, Andrew Brinker and Jonathan Killebrew. Candidates who earn the top three most votes in May will win a fouryear term on the board.
O’Neil is a principal at Summit Cove Investments, which has an apparent focus in software related to the energy sector. Brinker is a Tarrant County College biology professor and Fort Worth science teacher.
Killebrew is an executive Metro Code Analysis, a building inspection company.
TRWD’s board of directors oversees the management of the water supply, flood control measures, and recreational areas for more than two million North Texas residents.
Voters must live in TRWD’s taxing district and be at least 18 years old. Eligible voters can find a code, 223 TARRANT REGIONAL WATER DISTRICT, on their tax statements.
