A runoff election for mayor and for the Single Member District 1 and 5 seats on the City Council will be conducted Saturday, June 15. All registered voters in the city of San Angelo will be eligible to cast ballots in the mayor’s race; registered voters in SMDs 1 and 5 will also be able to vote in those respective races.
During the May 11 Council election, no candidate in the three races won a majority of the votes cast. The candidates on the June 15 ballot are:

  The drawing for the order of names on the runoff ballot will be May 21.

The terms are two years for mayor and one-year unexpired terms for SMDs 1 and 5. Current Councilmen Paul Alexander and Councilman Hirschfeld will continue to serve in the SMD 1 and 5 seats, respectively, until their successors are elected, the votes canvassed, and oaths of office administered.

In last week’s election, Marty Self, Don Vardeman and Charlotte Farmer won two-year terms in SMDs 2, 4 and 6, respectively. They will be sworn into office at the May 21 City Council meeting.
