The Georgetown City Council will have two new faces and one returning member for the three seats up for election on May 7, according to a release from the city.

Georgetown Districts 3,4 and 7 all received one candidate in the filing window that closed Feb. 18 at 5 p.m., meaning candidates from all three seats will run unopposed.
District 3 will once again be represented by Mike Triggs, who filed for reelection to the seat he initially won in 2019 in a close race over then-incumbent John Hesser.

Districts 4 and 7 however, saw their current councilmembers, Steve Fought and Tommy Gonzalez, choose to not run for reelection.

Instead, District 4, will be represented by Ron Garland, a retired executive who worked for the Boy Scouts of America for nearly 40 years and is a current member of the Georgetown Economic Development Corporation. The district is primarily in the north-central part of the city.

District 7, largely the southeast portion of the city, will shift from Gonzalez to Ben Stewart, a consultant in the tech industry and a former member of the Georgetown ISD board of trustees.

The city redrew its district lines last year in response to the 2020 US Census and approved the new map in December.
