Early Voting Opens for Texas City Runoff Elections

Early voting has begun in several Texas cities for key runoff elections, with major contests for mayoral and city council seats. In San Antonio, voters are choosing between Gina Ortiz Jones and Rolando Pablos for mayor, as well as deciding four city council races, with early voting open through June 3 and Election Day on June 7. Dallas residents are voting in City Council Districts 8 and 11, featuring matchups between Lorie Blair and Erik Wilson, and Jeff Kitner and Bill Roth, respectively. Brownsville is also holding runoffs for two city commissioner positions: Nurith Galonsky faces Roy De Los Santos for Commissioner at Large B, and Pedro Cardenas is competing with Daisy Zamora for District 4. These runoffs follow elections where no candidate secured a majority, emphasizing the significance of turnout in shaping local governance. Voters across these cities are encouraged to participate in determining their community leadership.
