A changing of the guard will occur in Buda this November as a longtime city leader is forgoing an attempt at a third term in office.
Wiley Hopkins, who was first elected to the Buda City Council dais in November 2013, did not submit a candidate filing prior to Monday’s deadline for the Nov. 3 election, according to the Buda city website. As a result, the Single Member District C seat is now up for grabs with candidates Jeffrey Morales and Terry Cummings preparing to jockey for it.
Morales, a veteran and a state of Texas employee, unsuccessfully ran for the Buda City Council Place 2 seat in 2016 and was defeated by Hopkins. Morales has lived in Texas for 51 years and resides in Garlic Creek.
