Texans were busy voting this past Saturday as voters in Montgomery and surrounding cities went to the polls to choose Mayors, and places for City Council. The polls in Texas Senate District 4 were also open for voters to give the nod for a new State Senator to fill in for the unexpired term of Brandon Creighton, who resigned his SD4 seat last October to accept the chancellorship of the Texas Tech University System.
In Montgomery, incumbent Mayor Sara Countryman, was reelected with approximately 46% of the vote, defeating her opponents, Mark Gess (28%), Art Aguilar (24%), and Kristin Gyldenge (3%). In the race for Place 4 of the Montgomery City Council, Cheryl Fox retained her position with 69% of the vote, defeating her opponent Efrain Lucas.
The race for State Senate District 4 featured former Montgomery County District Attorney, Republican Brett Ligon, versus his opponent Democratic candidate Ron Angeletti. Senate District 4 consists of Texans from Montgomery, Chambers, Jefferson, Harris, and Galveston counties in the Texas Senate. Ligon handily defeated Angeletti with 75% of the vote, of the over 34 thousand votes cast.
For Montgomery ISD School Board Position 3, incumbent Laurie Turner chose not to seek reelection. The open seat pitted Matt Mitchell versus Jennie Drude. Mitchell received over 76% of the vote.
In Conroe, City Council candidates Kristin Hoisington (Pl. 3), Ken Blevins (Pl. 4) and John Sellars (Pl. 5) won their open seats respectively. While Tanya Maddux won the race for Conroe Municipal Judge with nearly 50% of the vote.
All results remain unofficial until canvassed.
