Two Bastrop residents have officially entered the race for mayor, seeking to fill the seat left vacant by former-Mayor Lyle Nelson’s resignation Jan. 14.
In a nutshell
Bastrop City Manager Sylvia Carrillo-Trevino said as of Feb. 25, the two applicants include:
“As you know, last year we passed the ‘resign to run’ [amendment] for some of our boards and commissions,” she said. “That resignation is immediate.”
DeLaRosa has served as a Bastrop City Council member in the past and held positions on boards including the Bastrop Economic Development Corporation, the Bastrop County Water Council Task Force and others.
He ran for mayor in 2017, but lost the vote to Connie Schroeder, according to city records.
Carrillo-Trevino said one other application was received; however, the applicant was disqualified because they live in Cedar Creek.
What’s next?
Those interested in applying can do so online or in person at Bastrop City Hall, 1311 Chestnut St., Bastrop.
