Polls close at 8pm ET as Arlington, Lubbock, Irving and Frisco choose mayors and coastal-to-north Houston District 4 fills Brandon Creighton’s vacated Texas Senate seat.
All four mayoral contests are officially nonpartisan and require a majority to win; otherwise, the top two advance to 13 June runoffs.
Irving and Frisco have term-limited incumbents, while Arlington and Lubbock mayors seek re-election. District 4, held by Republicans 18-12 in the Senate, features Republican Brett Ligon against Democrat Ron Angeletti.
In Arlington's tight mayoral race, will fiscal restraint or a pro-growth record win over voters facing rising costs?
As Texas faces a water and power crisis, how will new mayors balance explosive growth with strained infrastructure?
Will Frisco's election outcome address the growing pains and demographic shifts challenging the rapidly expanding Dallas suburb?
