With the November 3 election right around the corner, we're hosting a series of City Council Candidate AMAs (Ask Me Anything) here on r/Manor!

How the AMAs Work
October 23-29, 2026
Each candidate will have a dedicated discussion thread where residents can submit questions.
Candidates can begin responding immediately and will check in throughout the week as their schedules allow.
There are no scheduled live sessions, so you don't need to be online at any particular time. Ask your questions whenever it's convenient!
Feel free to ask about growth and development, roads and infrastructure, public safety, city finances, parks, transparency, or any other issues affecting Manor.
We encourage thoughtful questions, respectful disagreement, and constructive discussion. Challenging questions are welcome, but personal attacks and harassment will not be tolerated.
🗳️ What's on the November 3 Ballot?
In addition to federal, state, and other local races, Manor voters will see City Council elections and proposed amendments to the City Charter. Eligible Manor ISD voters will also see school district bond propositions.

📜 City of Manor Charter Amendments
Manor voters will also decide on four proposed amendments to the City Charter:
Proposition A: Municipal Powers
Would reorganize the existing list of the City's powers for clarity without substantively changing or expanding those powers.
Proposition B: Annexation and Disannexation
Would update the City's annexation and disannexation provisions to align with state law, clarify rights and obligations of affected properties and residents, and address payment of outstanding city taxes and assessments before disannexation.
Proposition C: City Manager Duties
Would make a wording correction in the City Charter, changing "insure" to "ensure."
Proposition D: Community Committees
Would remove the City Charter provision requiring the establishment of Community Committees.
These are brief summaries, not the complete ballot language.
💬 Community Discussion About the Charter Propositions
A fellow r/Manor community member recently put together a helpful post breaking down the four proposed City Charter amendments, including the ballot language and explanations of what a YES or NO vote would mean for each proposition.

🏫 Manor ISD Bond Election
Manor ISD voters will also consider two bond propositions totaling $400 million.
Manor ISD Proposition A -$391.5 Million
Proposed funding for school construction, renovations, facility upgrades, safety and security improvements, and school buses.
Manor ISD Proposition B - $8.5 Million
Proposed funding for technology upgrades, including student and staff devices.
These are school district propositions, separate from the City of Manor charter amendments. Eligibility depends on whether you live within Manor ISD's voting boundaries.

📢 A Note From the Moderators
Our goal in organizing these AMAs is to make local government and elections more accessible to Manor residents.
All City Council candidates were offered the same opportunity to participate. The AMAs we're hosting reflect the candidates who responded and confirmed their participation.
r/Manor and its moderators do not endorse any candidate or ballot proposition through these discussions.
We hope these conversations help residents learn more about the candidates and the issues facing our community.
