Election day is May 2 for local elections across Williamson County. Georgetown voters can expect to see one contested race for City Council on their ballots, as well as a proposition to approve the sale of the majority of the city’s water service territory.
What’s on the ballot
Incumbent Jake French will run against challenger Emily Kaye Kipp for District 6. Read Q&As with the candidates here.
Those who live in District 6 can vote in the race. District 6 generally encompasses the area of Georgetown between I-35 and Hwy. 130 from their northern intersection to Hwy. 29.
Both the race for mayor and District 2 are uncontested. Georgetown Mayor Josh Schroeder and newcomer Doug Noble will run unopposed for those seats, respectively.
Additionally, National Utility Infrastructure plans to buy a portion of Georgetown’s water service territory within Salado, Florence and Liberty Hill. The cities of Killeen and Jarrell are also moving forward with purchasing their water territories, respectively.
The sale requires voter approval. By selling the water territory outside of city limits and the extraterritorial jurisdiction, the city can reduce risk from outside development, decrease the burden on Georgetown taxpayers, and better account for growing water demand, officials have previously said.
