Texas Municipal Elections Result in Leadership Changes Across Multiple Cities

Several North Texas cities held local elections to fill key mayoral and city council positions. In Argyle, voters selected a new mayor and town council member, with Ronald Schmidt and Chad Sheddy vying for the mayoral seat, while two town council seats were uncontested. Frisco's election featured competitive races for two city council positions, with incumbents facing multiple challengers. Irving’s ballot included three city council seats, two of which were open due to incumbents not seeking re-election, leading to a crowded field of candidates. Fort Worth saw its mayor and every city council seat up for election, with Mayor Mattie Parker facing seven challengers and several council races featuring both incumbents and newcomers. Meanwhile, McKinney voters chose a new mayor from four candidates and filled three city council seats, with local governance issues including a proposed airport expansion looming for the new council.
