Election
BY KAROLINE PFEIL
10 city council seats, Lakeway mayor unopposed in elections
candidates elected to council was passed Feb. 21. In Bee Cave, a general election for three council seats was held, as well as a special election for two vacated council seats left by former council members Courtney Hohl and Jon Cobb. Both of these seats had a remaining term of one year, and council members Blake Sbrocco and Kit Crumbley were elected by council to fill them until a formal election was held. Andrea Willott and Crumbley will now fill the unexpired terms, with Sbrocco being elected instead to a standard two-year council position. Mayor Pro Tem Andrew Clark and Kevin Hight will fill the remaining two-year terms. All council members were elected via ordinances which cancelled the elections in February. In West Lake Hills, three incumbent candidates filed to run for City Council. The only seat contested is council member Dana Harmon’s, with candidate Joe Swider having filed to run against her.
All incumbent candidates seeking re-election to Lakeway and Bee Cave’s city councils in May have secured their seats without opposition, with two incumbent council members re-elected in Lakeway, and five in Bee Cave. One non-incumbent council candidate and city mayor were also elected in Lakeway without facing opposition, alongside two incumbent candidates in West Lake Hills. Diving in deeper In Lakeway, council members Christopher Forton and Kent O’Brien as well as Mayor Pro Tem Gretchen Vance and Mayor Thomas Kilgore faced expiring terms. All except Vance were re-elected, as she had already served three consecutive terms and was therefore ineligible to appear on the May ballot. Louis Mastrangelo, chair of Lakeway’s Zoning and Planning Commission, ran unopposed and will also serve on council alongside Forton and O’Brien. An ordinance declaring all of these unopposed
