Early Voting Begins In Several Races
Early voting begins today around Smith County for races including District 2 Tyler city councilman and Troup ISD school board, as well as a bond proposal for voters in Tyler Junior College’s taxing district.
There is one contested race for a city council seat in Tyler. The winner of the race takes over for outgoing Councilman Donald Sanders, who cannot run again due to term limits. District 2 includes the longtime communities of Butler College, White City and St. Louis area as well as newer areas, including The Cascades.
Darryl B. Bowdre, Charles Burns and Sarah Coats are vying for that seat.
In Bullard, four candidates, including two incumbents, Rodger Johnson and Shirley Coe, and challengers Clay Thompson and Mark Maple, are vying for three spots on the city council. The council seats are at-large bids, meaning the three top vote getters will be elected.
In Lindale, voters will choose either incumbent Ginger Sims or challenger John Droblyn for Alderman Place 3.
