Longtime Lake Highlands resident, Adam Meierhofer, has officially announced a run for Place 1 on the Richardson Independent School District Board of Trustees.

This news follows last month's announcement that current Place 1 trustee, Luke Davis, would not seek re-election in May.

Meierhofer spoke highly of the leadership and dedication shown by Davis in his 12 years of service.

"Luke represented Lake Highlands with leadership and dedication during his years of service on the RISD Board."

"I am dedicated to continuing to build upon the foundation laid by him and the other members of the board."

Meierhofer has called Lake Highlands home since 2002 and together with his wife Brandy is raising three children in the district.

"Having them grow up in the Richardson Independent School District is motivation for Brandy and I to sacrifice our time to ensure that RISD continues to be a leading school district in Texas."

In addition to eight years as a small business owner, Meierhofer currently serves on boards for the Exchange Club of Lake Highlands and the Moss Haven Elementary PTA.

According to RISD, as of yesterday one other person has picked up filing papers for the Place 1 seat.

RISD Place 2 Trustee, Kim Caston, who has served since 2007 may be facing a potential challenge, but no official filings for the Place 2 seat have occurred to date.
