Kyle council runoff election in June
Kyle council members canvassed the May 11 election results Tuesday night that saw a $36 million road bond gain voter approval handily and the District 3 council seat race remain without a victor.
Not one of the candidates – Chad Benninghoff, Joe Bacon and Bill Sinor – for the council seat received a majority of the vote, therefore a runoff election between Benninghoff and Bacon, the top two vote getters, scheduled for June 1, will decide who the new council member will be.
Benninghoff received 324 votes (45.89 percent), Bacon brought in 298 votes (42.21) and Sinor took in 84 votes (11.90 percent). In order for a candidate to take office, they have to receive 50 percent plus one vote.
Council members set June 1 as the runoff election date, with early voting scheduled to begin Monday, May 20, and run through Tuesday, May 28.
