AUSTIN, Texas - A candidate for an Austin ISD board position has conceded her race ahead of a planned runoff.

What they're saying: Cynthia Soliz, who was running for the district's at-large trustee position, posted a concession speech on social media on Nov. 9.

In her speech, she cited the expense of a runoff election as her reason for conceding the race, saying that AISD told her it would cost between $240,000 and $350,000 to hold the election.
