GEORGE EDWARDS WILL KEEP FIGHTING FOR US
George Edwards, Jr. is ready to serve again. Having served as Vice President of Cypress- Fairbanks ISD Board of Trustees in 1995, George is excited to announce his new campaign for the Cy-Fair ISD Board of Trustees. He has a variety of experiences, ranging from serving in the United States Army to leading as a certified public accountant (CPA) at Exxon Mobil. George is a dedicated man that feels called to protect our children’s futures.
George earned his Bachelor of Science in Accounting, graduating magna cum laude from the
University of Southern Mississippi. During his 39-year career at Exxon Mobil, George found a
myriad of ways to volunteer and serve those around him. The roles which he undertook include:
- Chair of the Board of Directors of Energy Capital Credit
- Chair of the Leadership Houston Class XXI
- Chair of the Investment Committee of the Texas Bar Foundation
- Chair of the Law-Focused Education Committee
- Member, Cy-Fair ISD’s Community Leadership Committee
- Trustee on the Board of Trustees of the Neuhaus Education Center, an organization that
supports reading programs for students - Union Board Member on the State Bar of Texas Board of Directors
- Board Member on the Commission for Lawyer Discipline
In addition to these admirable roles, George takes great pride in serving as a deacon at Second
Baptist Church in Katy. George and his wife, DeBra, are the parents of three sons, a school
administrator, an attorney, and a treasury analyst. The love of their lives is their 13-year-old
granddaughter.



Top Issues
Improving student outcomes begins with a strong focus on the basics. George wants to ensure a rigorous academic curriculum at each grade level, focusing on the importance of reading. Unfortunately, the basics of education have been clouded with liberal ideologies and culture wars. It is time for a new age of collaboration and support between parents and the school district to provide much-needed assistance to enhance each child’s learning experience. George is dedicated to providing education that has the necessary resources and attention to vastly improve student outcomes.
Parents deserve unfettered access to their children’s education; they deserve to know what is going on in the classroom. George is intent on improving communication between the district and parents to restore the trust between everyone involved in the educational journeys of Cy-Fair ISD students. Without parental involvement, our children may be exposed to detrimental, radical lessons that do not promote future success and take away from the learning process.
Teachers greatly impact a child’s education and life. It is paramount that teachers are equipped with every tool they need to have a positive impact. Resources and support for our teachers is a top priority for George as he understands the lasting impact that a teacher and a quality education can have on a child.
