After weeks of campaigning, this Saturday will be the last chance for voters to cast a ballot for Kyle’s new mayor and two councilmembers.
The special election comes after a shuffle in the city council that had Mayor Mike Gonzalez and Councilmember Ray Bryant resign to vie for the seat of Pct. 2 Hays County Commissioner.
Councilmembers Lucy Johnson and Michelle López then resigned their seats in hopes of becoming the city’s next mayor.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday at the Kyle City Hall. As of Tuesday, 460 voters had already cast a ballot during early voting, city officials say.
Candidates for all three races:
Mayor
Lucy Johnson
Michelle López
Council Place 5
Jon Claeton
Mike Fulton
Jaime Sanchez
John Simmang
Council Place 6
Rhonda Cox
Russell Huebner
