Bastrop, Tx–Mayor Terry Orr and Council Member Julie Hart both are seeking re-election to a second two-year term in office, City Secretary Teresa Valdez said today. Council Member Joe Beal, also seeking a second term, put his name on the May 8 city ballot on Monday.
So far none of the three, first elected in 2008, has an opponent.
Candidates have until March 8 to file for a place on this year’s ballot, said Valdez.
Bastrop, Tx–Bastrop city voters shouldn’t be surprised or dismayed if they don’t see city council candidate Kay Garcia McAnally at events for some time between today and the May 9 city council election.
She learned Friday that her husband, Direct TV producer/director Connor McAnally, was seriously injured earlier in the day in a sky diving accident in Ireland. He was in that country for the impending birth of a grandchild, but became embroiled in a mishap which reportedly resulted in both a broken leg and hip.
Late Friday, Kay was packing and arranging a flight to Ireland to be at his bedside. At last word, Connor was still in surgery.
