According to early voting totals released by Travis County, Reetz’s 49 votes lead over Rosengarten’s count of 48 votes, followed by Carmona’s 39 and Karen Medicus’ 31 votes.
Election day voting totals will be released throughout the night. The three candidates who receive the most votes in Sunset Valley will be elected onto city council.
Rosengarten is running to maintain her seat on City Council—one that she has held since 2011—while the three other candidates are running to serve for the first time. Current Council Members Marc Bruner and Ketan Kharod, who were up for reelection this year, decided not to file for placement on the ballot.
Officials in Sunset Valley run for two-year terms.
