In the special election called for Dec. 16, at least three candidates will vie for Kris Whitfield's former seat. The three candidates are Hollis Bone, John Montgomery and Hilda Montgomery. Hilda and John are not related to one another. Whitfield left her seat vacant, effective Oct. 6, to move to Wyoming to a vacation home. On Oct. 26, Round Rock City Council voted to declare a special election for Dec. 16. Since that time, three candidates have filed for the position.
