"To the parents and community of Southlake Schools- it is an honor and pleasure to recommend Alex Sexton for school board member (CISD place 6). I have known Alex for 16 years as I was a very close friend of his mother-in-law before her passing. I have spent Christmas dinners and Fourth of July celebrations in his home with his family. His mother-in-law adored him and his feelings for her were mutual. He treated her with utmost respect and stood by her for her every need. Alex's number one priority is to be a loving, engaged and active father and husband. He is wise beyond his years. He studies, researches, and contemplates before making decisions. He is honest, loyal and a team player. I highly recommend Alex Sexton to represent your children's educational needs and future. Alex is simply the best choice!"
-Patricia Crandall
