Tomball residents re-elected incumbents Mark Stoll and Derek Townsend Sr. to another three-year term May 12.
Stoll, winner of the Position 2 race, received 608 votes, while his opponent Barbara Tague received 323 votes.
"I feel the reason I was re-elected is that what I told the people three years ago I'd do, I've done, and I think they validated that with this election," Stoll said. "I look forward to serving for another three years."
Stoll said his priorities going into his next term will be to continue to work on some of the infrastructure projects that need to be completed in the city, as well as revising ordinances to make it easier for businesses to open and expand in Tomball.
Townsend, winner of the Position 4 seat, received 505 votes, while challenger Jeffie Cappadonna earned 453 votes.
"I feel vindicated, and it just shows me that good guys can win," Townsend said. "I want to say thank you so much [to my supporters] for having faith in me and for getting out and supporting me, voting for me and praying for me. Now let's get on with city business and make Tomball a great place to live."
This year, 965 residents voted, which is a 17.5 percent turnout based on Tomball's 5,474 registered voters. Council members serve three-year, staggered terms.
