Jacob Muehlstein is the Board President of Harleton ISD, serving Place 7 since November 2018. He is an active Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper and K-9 handler, partnered with K-9 Duke for narcotics detection.
Muehlstein won his seat in a competitive three-way race in 2018 with 44.6% of the vote (475 votes), unseating incumbent Billy Ridgeway. That same election saw a $10.5 million bond proposition fail.
His dual role as an active sworn law enforcement officer and school board president is noted as a low-severity concern: while not a legal conflict, it creates a unique power dynamic in a small rural district. No negative public-record items have surfaced as of this research date.
