The 17-year-old spent his pandemic year building bird houses – hundreds of them – that will become a birdhouse therapy wall at Stoney Glen, an assisted living home operated by the Village Learning Center for those with learning and developmental disabilities.
He lives in Kingwood with his parents, Arlene and Juan Martinez, and his 15-year-old sister, Alani.
Two candidates are running for the Place 5 seat on the Round Rock City Council.
Tina Steiner, a longtime educator in the Round Rock school district, is running against Kristin Stevens, a pediatric speech-language pathologist. They are running to replace Writ Baese, who announced in January he would not be seeking reelection.
The winners of the May 1 election will serve a three-year term. Early voting begins April 19 and will run through April 27.
In the Place 1 race, Steiner, 58, who has worked in Round Rock schools for more than 20 years, said that if elected she will ensure the council remains transparent, fair and inclusive.
