Four Texas cities (among the 100 largest in the country) hold mayoral elections Saturday. These are all officially nonpartisan.<\/p>\n
A majority vote winner is required in each of these elections. If no candidate achieves that threshold, the top two finishers will advance to a runoff on June 13.<\/p>\n
There is also a State Senate special election.<\/p>\n
Polls close at 8:00 PM Eastern Time.<\/p>\n
Population<\/a> displayed in the tables below is for the municipality itself, not any surrounding areas.<\/p>\n Arlington<\/p>\n
Arlington voters passed Proposition A in 2022, changing term length from two to three years while maintaining a limit of three consecutive terms. The 2023 election, where incumbent Jim Ross won a second term, was the first for a three year term.<\/p>\n There are four candidates<\/a> on the ballot. The most notable challenger to the incumbent is real estate developer Steve Cavender.\u00a0<\/p>\n Lubbock<\/p>\n
Mayor Mark McBrayer is seeking reelection to a second two-year term.\u00a0<\/p>\n He has drawn three challengers<\/a> but may be able to avoid a runoff.<\/p>\n Arlington<\/p>\n
Irving<\/p>\n
Mayor Rick Stopfer is ineligible to run for reelection. He won his third term unopposed in 2023.<\/p>\n Three candidates are on the ballot, including Olivia Novelo Abreu, who lost to Stopfer by 54% to 46% in 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n Frisco<\/p>\n
This Dallas suburb is one of the fastest growing cities in the country, moving from 120th after the 2020 Census into the top 100 by 2024.<\/p>\n Jeff Cheney is completing his third three-year term, which is the maximum allowed.<\/p>\n There are four candidates on the ballot. A runoff seems likely.<\/p>\n Senate District 4<\/p>\n Republicans hold an 18-12 partisan advantage over Democrats in the Texas Senate<\/a>. 16 seats, including the vacant District 4, are on the ballot for a four-year term in November.<\/p>\n District 4<\/a> includes coastal areas east of Houston to the Louisiana border as well as some suburban areas to the north of Houston. Republican Brandon Creighton resigned last October to become Chancellor at Texas Tech. Creighton was reelected by a 70% to 30% margin in 2022.<\/p>\n Republican Brett Ligon and Democrat Ron Angeletti are on the ballot<\/a>. These two also won their party nominations back in March so will meet again in November.<\/p>\n
