Bay Area residents will have several candidates to choose from for a few different local offices this November after elections for local offices were delayed amid COVID-19.
Gov. Greg Abbott gave school districts and municipalities the option in mid-March to postpone local May elections until November. This fall, Nassau Bay and Clear Lake Shores residents can vote in the mayoral and city council races, and both the Harris and Galveston County sheriffs are up for re-election. In Clear Creek ISD, the board of trustees members representing districts 2 and 3 are up for re-election.
The Texas secretary of state issued recommended health care protocols for voters, election officers and poll workers in late May to promote safety during the voting process.
Here are the candidates running in contested November races for League City City Council, Nassau Bay mayor, Clear Lake Shores City Council, Harris County sheriff, Galveston County sheriff and CCISD board of trustees.
