Applications close for Bastrop mayor, 3 candidates approved to run

A retired police lieutenant of 32 years, Northcutt now serves as a deacon at First Baptist Church in Bastrop.

Harris recently stepped down from his position on the Planning and Zoning Commission, as the city’s charter prohibits individuals from holding a board seat while running for office.

“As you know, last year we passed the ‘resign to run’ [amendment] for some of our boards and commissions,” Carrillo-Trevino said. “That resignation is immediate.”

What else?

According to city documents, three other applicants were found ineligible, including:

• Justice Ramos, who lives outside of Bastrop city limits
• Jonathan Anaya, who lives outside of Bastrop city limits
• Charles Curran, who was not a registered Bastrop voter by the March 3 filing deadline

• April 22-29: early voting period
• May 3: election day

Community Impact will continue covering the elections, including Q&As with candidates, voter registration information and more.
