The New Year will bring with it four new faces to the nine-member Austin Community College board of trustees.

Sean Hassan and Julie Ann Nitsch won their races in tonight's runoff election for Places 4 and 9, respectively.

According to unofficial results, Hassan received 16,560 votes, or 64.6 percent, to win the Place 4 race while opponent Michael J. Lewis received 9,074 votes, or 35.4 percent.

Nitsch received 15,593 votes, or 61.02 percent, to win the Place 9 seat, and Guadalupe Sosa, who currently serves as the Place 4 representative, received 9,963 votes, or 38.98 percent.

If confirmed as the victor, Nitsch will serve the remaining two years of trustee Allen Kaplan's term. Kaplan resigned after serving 22 years on the board. Hassan is slated to serve a full, four-year term.

Sosa had initially announced that she would not seek re-election but filed for candidacy in the Place 9 race after Kaplan announced his resignation.

Two new trustees—Nicole Eversmann and Nora De Hoyos Comstock—already took office Dec. 5 after winning their respective races outright in the November general election.

All results are unofficial until canvassed. Results for Caldwell County, which reported less than 50 votes in the Nov. 8 ACC election, could not be retrieved.

The makeup of Austin Community College's board of trustees has already changed with two newcomers sworn in Dec. 5. The board could welcome two more new faces after tonight's runoff election for Places 4 and 9.

Sean Hassan and Julie Ann Nitsch held leads in their respective races after early voting returns were released from each of Bastrop, Hays, Travis and Williamson counties. Early voting results from Caldwell County could not be retrieved.

With 10,285 votes, or 61.15 percent, Hassan received more of the early voting share than opponent Michael J. Lewis, who received 6,535 votes, or 38.85 percent.

Guadalupe Sosa, the only incumbent to seek re-election in ACC trustee races this year, has an uphill climb to overcome her deficit. She had 6,769 votes, or 40.65 percent, as of early voting. Nitsch received 9,883 votes, or 59.35 percent of the early tallies.

All results are unofficial until canvassed.
