Of the five Council positions that end this year, only one, the mayor's race, received any challengers. The incumbents for the other four positions filed for another term and all will continue to serve. Barbara Chick (Dist 6) will start her final term on the Council, as all Council members are limited to three full terms (six years). Those filling the remaining three positions, Preston Edwards (Dist 3), Rick Williams (Dist 7), and Darren Lathen (Dist 8), will start their second terms and can run again when that term is complete.
Mayor Ron Jones drew two opponents, Dino Quintanilla and Chris Ott. Early voting in that election started today. Those wishing to vote early can do so at City Hall or any early voting location in Dallas County.

For Garland voters, there will be nothing else on the ballot except two positions in the Dallas County School Board race. The Dallas County School Board supplies school buses to many of the county's school districts. Not to Garland though.
There were no contested races in the Garland Independent School District races; those have been cancelled.
I predict a very low voter turnout. The candidates hope that you will prove me wrong. I hope you will, too.
