--Fort Worth School Board, District 1 trustee: Carlos Vasquez officially beat incumbent Camille Rodriguez with 64 percent of the vote.
--City of Fort Worth bond - 68 percent support with 93 precent of precincts reporting. It's done.
--Mansfield Mayor - Talk about a squeaker! David L. Cook just barely pulled it out with 50.86 percent of the vote against three opponents. That's the final tally.
--Arlington ISD, two open seats - Former reality star Bowie Hogg and Peter Baron (not a reality star) both appeared headed to victory with 90 percent of precincts reporting.
--Southlake proposition - Still no election day returns but early voters overwhelmingly voted against allowing state law to replace city policy for hiring, promotions, salaries, disciplinary matters and other personnel issues for police and firefighters. Stay tuned.
--Irving Mayor - With 53 of 69 precincts reporting, Mayor Harold Gears was continuing to best two challengers with an even 54 percent support.
--Carrollton Mayor - As we just noted, this race has suddenly become incredibly close. The current precentage breakdown is Miller leading with 50.57 percent support. There's still 17 precincts left to report.
Here's more from Arlington, Mansfield,and Arlington ISD.
UPDATE: Ask and you shall receive. The latest on the County Water Board race: The three incumbents appeared to be hanging on - with each getting between 25 and 28.5 percent support, and challenger John Basham attracting just 20 percent support. That's with 94 percent of precincts reporting.

So glad to see Chris Hatch is still in the race! He will watch after our tax dollars and hold the highest standards for the children at FWISD! No worries about ethics with Chris Hatch.
