City Council Elections

For the City Council elections in College Station, there are three contested races as of Friday, August 16 at 5: 200 p.m. Running for the place three seat are David White and Valen Cepak. Unfortunately, Linda Harvell is ineligible to run again for the place three seat due to term limitations.

Aron Collins and Craig Regan are vying for the place four seat. For the place five seat, incumbent Bob Yancy is back in the race. In the race for the place six seat are Tre Watson and Scott Shafer. The incumbent, Dennis Maloney, is ineligible to run again for the place six seat due to term limits.
