Up for election
The candidate filing period for Missouri City’s November election opens July 19 and runs through Aug. 18.
Missouri City has three elected official seats up for election, including:
- Missouri City mayor, currently held by Robin Elackatt
- Missouri City City Council At-Large, Position 1, currently held by Sonya Brown-Marshall, who serves as mayor pro tem
- Missouri City City Council At-Large, Position 2, currently held by Lynn Clouser
Those elected will serve three-year terms on their respective council seats.
What else?
Fort Bend County commissioners may also call a special election for some Missouri City residents aimed at creating a county assistance district within the extraterritorial jurisdiction, or ETJ, near the Sienna area.
The primary role of the county assistance district would be to provide construction, maintenance and improvements to roads, bridges and drainage facilities, county officials previously said. Additional responsibilities would include public safety, health services and economic development.
If approved by voters, the projects would be funded by an additional 2% of sales tax—available only for district use—in addition to the state’s 6.25%, officials said.
Looking ahead
The election will take place Nov. 4 with early voting running from Oct. 20-31, according to the Texas Secretary of State’s website.
