In a nutshell
The filing period for the general election Nov. 7 was Aug. 21. These are the individuals who have applied to run in the upcoming election for their respective races.
The specifics
The city of San Marcos will have races for City Council places 3 and 4. The sitting council members of both seats are running for re-election, and candidates are as follows:
Place 3:
- Alyssa Garza*
- Aaron Maldonado (write-in candidate)
- Shane Scott*
- Adam “Atom Von” Arndt
In Buda, the terms for mayor and two City Council members are up. However, the incumbents were the only ones to submit applications by the filing deadline, according to the city’s website.
Therefore, the City Council may vote to cancel the races since there are no opponents.

Mayor:
