“Don Smithers has leadership skills and desire for community improvement which continues to make him an ideal candidate for District 1,” said HAR’s 2011 Fort Bend Political Affairs Advisory Leadership Chair Vicki Warren of MBA Realty. “He is extremely worthy of HAR’s support, and we look forward to our continuing relationship with Council Member Smithers.”
“Amy Mitchell is an active member of the Sugar Land community, and her enthusiasm and commitment to improving the lives of Sugar Land residents is second to none,” said TREPAC Trustee Joan Berger of Heritage Texas Properties. “HAR is very proud to be supporting her, and we look forward to working with her.”
“Frank Yonish brings with him the experience of having served on a city council in years past,” said Vicki Warren. “He is a proven leader, and during this time when there are so many Sugar Land City Council members leaving office, it is important to elect someone with local government background to come in and get down to business.”
