What’s on the ballot
During the Dec. 20 special election for the Place 7 seat, John Carbon and Robert Sheridan received the most votes out of five candidates and will be on the runoff ballot. Carbon received 172 votes or 27.56% of the vote, while Sheridan received 166 votes or 26.6% of the vote, according to the city's canvassed results.
If no candidate receives a majority of votes, a runoff will be held between the top two candidates, according to the Schertz City Charter.
The Place 7 seat was left vacant after the death of council member Tim Brown in October.
