Elections were planned for the Cities of Bowie and Saint Jo, plus the school districts in those cities. Early voting begins Oct. 21 and ends on Nov. 1.
The Saint Jo Independent School District may cancel its election due to no contested races. Incumbent Trustees Mike Martin and Rodney Swircynski drew no challengers.
The Bowie City Council election will place a mayor and three councilors.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris is challenged for that seat by retired businessman Bill Miller.
Precinct one (north) council seat has Diana Higgins and Michael Christmas running for the seat. Incumbent Councilor Arlene Bishop declined to run.
Precinct two (south) Councilman Jason Love is facing Jason Johnson, while Precinct three (east) Councilor Wayne Bell is running unopposed.
For the Bowie ISD election, there will be one contested race as both incumbents declined to file. Jases Brown and Jeff Jackson are running for place three, presently filled by Shea Brown. Daniel Deweber is unopposed for place four, presently filled by Warren Price.
The Saint Jo City Council has three council positions up for election presently filled by Carla Hennessey, Brad Bugg and Shaden Clark. No information was available from the City of Saint Jo on their filings Tuesday.
