As of 7 p.m., early-voting results have been reported from Travis County. Early-voting results include ballots cast via mail and in person from Oct. 24-Nov. 4.
Incumbent Sara Hutson has received 41.08% of the early vote. Kevin Glasheen is at 37.86%, and Barry Delcambre is trailing at 21.06%.
Delcambre is an entrepreneur who has served on the Rollingwood Community Development Corp. since 2019, including as president and secretary.
“I feel there is a need for a voice that can represent all members of the community,” Delcambre said. “I have children that are school age, I use the park and city services often and as a member of [Rollingwood City Development Corp.], help bring business to the city. As a result, I think I have a deep understanding of the city's issues and how to correct them now and in the future.”
Delcambre said the main areas he wants to focus on as an elected official are infrastructure improvements, park upkeep and city drainage.
His No. 1 priority, he said, would be helping to develop the Rollingwood business corridor on Bee Caves Road to ensure the city has funding for infrastructure and park improvements.
Glasheen is a personal injury lawyer and real estate developer who has lived in Rollingwood for eight years. Glasheen owns and manages a law firm with more than 50 employees. He has also served on various boards and committees, such as the Texas Tech Law School Foundation Board, the South Plains Council of the Boy Scouts and the Lubbock Arts Facilities Task Force.
“I am running to help preserve Rollingwood as a quiet residential neighborhood with lots of green space,” Glasheen said. “We love Rollingwood; it's our home. I believe in public service, and I believe I have the skills, the education and the experience to make a positive difference. I believe I can improve the dialogue and help the council find common ground and positive solutions.”
The main areas Glasheen wants to focus on are preserving Rollingwood from overdevelopment while also seeing development of the commercial corridor on Bee Caves Road to bring new business, he said. Glasheen also said he would like to see a stronger ethics policy and a conflict-of-interest policy with more open government and transparency.
Hutson is the only candidate running for re-election. Hutson is an environmental engineer and small-business owner who has been a Rollingwood resident for 30 years and a Rollingwood City Council member for 13 years.
“Serving on City Council has been my form of community service,” Hutson said. “I have seen how my education and experience in civil engineering, and running a small business, is relevant to the needs of the city; I would like to continue serving the city in this capacity.”
Her primary areas of concern are infrastructure challenges the city is facing, including water system improvements and drainage issues.
“We need to build on the recent work on our comprehensive plan,” she said.
If re-elected, she wants to continue representing the interests of Rollingwood residents in whatever comes before us on council, she said.
“We are faced with aging infrastructure, redevelopment issues and affordability for our long-time residents. Rollingwood has been a wonderful place to live and raise a family. I want to be sure it continues to be so.”
