In case you missed it
Following the outcome of the May election, both Patterson and McCoy told Community Impact it is essential for residents to ensure their voices are heard in such a tight election.
- “It’s more important than ever to get out and vote. We have critical infrastructure projects that are waiting to be funded; we have a city manager position [that needs to be filled],” Patterson said. “Get out and vote; vote for someone who has the experience and a proven record.”
- “Fulshear is exploding with growth, and it is important to have everybody’s opinions; ... their voices need to be heard,” McCoy said.
Residents can visit the Fulshear Branch Library at 6350 GM Library Road, Fulshear, from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. on June 15 to cast their ballot if they don't have a chance to vote during the early period.
All voters in line by the 7 p.m. cutoff will still be allowed to vote, according to the Texas Secretary of State website.
