Those interested in running for League City City Council can apply to do so starting July 22, which is when the filing period for the upcoming November election opens.

The full story

There are three seats set to appear on the ballot for the Nov. 5 election, according to the city’s website. They are:

• Council position 3, which is held by Tom Crews
• Council position 4, which is held by Courtney Chadwell
• Council position 5, which is held by Justin Hicks

The filing period will run through Aug. 19, according to the city’s website. To serve, those interested must be a citizen of the United States, a resident of League City for at least one year prior to the election and at least 21 years old.

Diving in deeper

The terms will be for four years and are each at-large positions, meaning they represent the community as a whole rather than a specific district, according to the city’s website.

Per city code, neither a council member or the mayor may not serve more than two consecutive terms in the same position, according to the city’s website.

Duties of city council members include voting on ordinances and resolutions, establishing city policy and approving the annual budget, among other duties.

“League City has a council-manager form of government,” the July 16 post from the city reads. “This means our City Council represents their constituency by being responsive to citizens’ needs and tasks the city manager with carrying out the delivery of these public services.”
