The background
A special election will be held Aug. 31 for the Keller City Council. Jessica Juarez previously held the Place 3 council seat but resigned in May for job reasons. In a news release, city officials said Keller’s City Charter requires an election to fill a vacant council seat within 120 days. Filing began May 28, said Rachel Reynolds, the city's communication and public engagement manager.
Zooming in
The special election winner will hold the Place 3 seat through the spring, when he or she would need to run for re-election as part of the May 2025 ballot to seek a full three-year term, the city stated in a news release.
People interested in running for council may download a packet through the city website or pick one up from City Secretary Kelly Ballard's office at Keller Town Hall, 1100 Bear Creek Parkway. Application packets must be submitted by 5 p.m. June 27. For more information, visit www.cityofkeller.com/election.
