DRIPPING SPRINGS — The Dripping Springs ISD Board of Trustees and Dripping Springs City Council will have several candidates seeking positions in the Saturday, May 2, election.
Mayor Bill Foulds Jr. will return to his seat to serve another term of two years, as he is running unopposed.
Along with the mayoral seat, Places 2 and 4 on the city council have terms expiring in even years. Incumbent Wade King is vying to keep his position in Place 2, on which he has served for multiple terms and, according to his candidate application, has lived in Dripping Springs for 26 years.
Going up against King for Place 2 is Ana Grace Husted, who, according to her campaign website, has served as senior policy advisor for city council member Geoffrey Tahuahua. She is focused on the following: making city services more efficient and transparent; managing growth with clear priorities, smart planning and fiscal responsibility; improving roads, utilities and public safety to meet the needs of a growing community; and listening to residents and leading with integrity.
Campaigning for the Place 4 seat is incumbent Wm. Travis Crow, who has resided in Dripping Springs for 46 years. He has served on city council for eight years and the Dripping Springs Water Supply Corp. Board of Directors for nine years.
Running against Crow is Mitchell Royer, who has lived in the city for five years, according to his campaign application.
Additionally, incumbents Kim Cousins and Rob McClelland are seeking to return to their seats on the DSISD Board of Trustees in an unopposed election. Both were elected in May 2023 and their terms end in May 2026.
