Keller’s mayoral seat is up for election in May 2026. Keller’s current mayor, Armin Mizani, is campaigning for the Texas House District 98 seat during the same election.
The Texas Constitution normally prohibits individuals from holding more than one paid civil office at the same time. McMullin is expected to serve as acting mayor for the final six months of Mizani’s term if Mizani is elected for District 98, according to previous reporting.
“I’m ready to take Keller to the next level and keep delivering on a 'promises made, promises kept' mentality,” McMullin said in a statement to Community Impact.
