Mayoral and council candidates outline vision for Missouri City ahead of election
Last week, the Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce hosted a candidates’ forum for the upcoming 2025 General Election, giving voters a look at the contenders for mayor and three city council seats. Election Day is set for Tuesday, November 4.
In Missouri City, the mayor, two at-large council members, and four district council members serve three-year terms. This year’s races feature a mix of seasoned incumbents and fresh challengers.
Moderator Christopher Breaux split the forum into two parts: first for the seven council candidates, then for the two mayoral candidates, Robin Elackatt and Jeffrey Boney.
The city council candidates are Shad Bogany, Sonya Brown-Marshall, Lynn Clouser, Bruce Zaborowski, Danishi Abayarathna, James Davidson, and Sharita Thompson. Topics covered included economic development, redevelopment, public safety, infrastructure, and traffic congestion. Candidates emphasized the need for transparency, better planning, and community engagement. Specific proposals included tax abatements, comprehensive planning, and addressing aging infrastructure.
