According to unofficial results, Todd Webster and Brad Pickett appear set for a runoff in the race to become Kyle's next mayor, as the former councilmen garnered 43.5 percent and 31.8 percent of the tallies, respectively.
The candidates were separated by 136 votes as Webster received 505, and Pickett received 369.
Former Mayor James Adkins received 286, or 24.7 percent, of the votes.
The winner of the runoff will succeed Lucy Johnson, who declined to seek a third term. Because no candidate earned a majority of the votes--more than 50 percent--a runoff is needed to decide the race. The top two vote-getters are entered into the runoff.
Webster's top priorities if elected mayor include investing in infrastructure and attracting businesses to Kyle, he said.
"I want to make sure we do the things we need to ... so that we can attract significant-footprint, large-scale job creators," he said.
Pickett said his No. 1 priority if he were to head into office would be tackling the city's fiscal year 2015 budget.
Jaime Sanchez was vying to become another new face on the council, but incumbent District 2 Councilwoman Becky Selbera came out on top by seven votes, with 189 to Sanchez's 182. Selbera had 51 percent, and Sanchez garnered 49 percent of the tallies.
Meanwhile, incumbent District 4 Councilman David Wilson appears to be on his way to another term, as he had 299, or 56 percent, of the votes. Laurie Luttrell received 237, or 44 percent, of the tallies.
"It's validation," Wilson said of the final results. "You work hard and you know that you're doing a good job, but, when challenged, you have got to prove to people by communicating what you have done."
Tammy Lynn Swaton earned election to the council by virtue of being the only person to file for the District 6 seat vacated by Ray Bryant, who cited his faltering attendance record because of increased work demands as the reason he resigned in January.
Each member of council serves a three-year term.
All results are unofficial until canvassed.
