Bio: Ray Lopez, a retired from AT&T marketing director, held a spot on the Northside ISD board before being elected to council in 2009. While he’s gained a long list of endorsements, Lopez drew fire this year when emails surfaced showing he suggested his private IT firm, REV Enterprises, do business with WellMed in 2009, just as the group was looking to set up a senior center in the councilman’s district. An ethics complaint against Lopez was never filed with the city.
