For the city of Keller, the position of mayor and City Council Places 5 and 6 will be on the ballot. Keller ISD voters will also decide Board of Trustees Places 4 and 5.
As of midday Feb. 14, current KISD trustees Chris Roof, Place 4, and Beverly Dixon, Place 5, were running unopposed.
Meanwhile, Keller Mayor Pat McGrail announced he will not run for reelection after serving four terms as mayor.
"Throughout five terms as a City Councilman and four terms as your mayor, I’ve helped guide Keller to the best of my ability," McGrail said in a post on the city's Facebook page. "It has been a joy to have a front-row seat to our growth and prosperity, and to see this nook of Northeast Tarrant County remain a charming, thriving place to live and work even as we’ve matured and evolved."
The race for mayor in Keller will instead see Place 6 Council Member Tag Green face off against former Council Member Armin Mizani and former Mayor Mark Matthews.
With Green running for mayor, City Council Place 6 remains an open race between residents David Tashman, Mujeeb Kazi, Ross McMullin and Brian Campbell.
