Dishongh elected to fill Leander City Council Place 5 vacancy

"I'm excited about the team we've got together," Dishongh said. "There's some great new leadership."

Council members now have a shared vision, Dishongh said, which will prove valuable for Leander residents.

"I want to try to get a better relationship with citizens," he said. "I want them to know where we're going."

Leading up to the election, Dishongh expressed an interest in helping Leander grow by attracting large-scale employers. While some goals must be implemented gradually, the professional bank manager said he intends on getting right to work.

"There's some things I can get on board immediately and start working with the council," Dishongh said.

He will be sworn in at the June 21 Leander City Council meeting.
