Voters in Sachse delivered a result in one City Council race and set up a runoff in another during the May 2 general election, according to unofficial returns.<\/p>\n

In the race for Councilmember Place 3,\u00a0incumbent\u00a0Frank Millsap\u00a0won outright with 941 votes, or 53.04%, defeating\u00a0Laura Tovar, who received 833 votes, or 46.96%. Because Millsap secured more than 50% of the vote, no runoff is required.<\/p>\n

The four-candidate contest for Councilmember Place 4, previously held by Chance Lindsey, did not produce a majority winner.\u00a0Gurvinder Singh\u00a0led the field with 825 votes (45.91%), followed by\u00a0Tim Legh-Page\u00a0with 659 votes (36.67%).\u00a0Alan Bell\u00a0received 220 votes (12.24%), and\u00a0Beau Hooten\u00a0finished with 93 votes (5.18%).<\/p>\n
