On Nov. 26, Frisco City Council Member Dan Stricklin said he will run for a seat on the Denton County Commissioners Court. He effectively resigned his Council Place 5 seat, according to Frisco officials. By state law, the city was required to set an election date no later than 120 days from the resignation.

The date could not be set exactly 120 days after the resignation on March 26 due to it being within 30 days of the state primary election March 1.
