Kyle election results reflect voters voice for change

Uncanvassed votes for the Kyle election result in newly elected city council members to be sworn in, mayor race to runoff and bond-funded construction to begin.

The city council district 2 race ended with Yvonne Flores-Cale beating incumbent Tracy Scheel by 1,010 votes. The city council district 4 race ended with Ashlee Bradshaw beating Tim McHutchion by 1,141 votes. Flores-Cale and Bradshaw will be sworn in during the Tuesday, Nov. 17 meeting.

In a close race, incumbent Travis Mitchell received 5,795 votes, 36 votes shy of challenger Linda Tenorio’s 5,831 votes. With less than a 100 vote difference and Kyle City Charter requiring a majority, a runoff between the candidates will be held Tuesday, Dec. 8.

In conjunction with the general election, voters considered two major city bond propositions.

Proposition A – which funds the design, construction and equipping of a new Public Safety Center that would be located on Marketplace Avenue at Kohler’s Crossing for a total of $37 million – passed with 55.49% of voters for it.

Proposition B – which funds property acquisition, planning, designing, developing, constructing, improving, and equipping of a public park specifically a Regional Sportsplex and Festival Grounds for a total of $10 million – passed with 56.23% of voters for it.

City of Kyle election results will be official once canvassed on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
