City Council officially canvassed and certified the results of the May 2 general election during a special meeting May 12, swearing in newly elected members to serve through May 2028.
Mayor Theresa McShan was reelected with 459 votes cast in Bastrop and Travis counties, Roland Silva won the Ward 2 seat with 129 votes and Agatha Mayfield claimed Ward 3 with 102 votes. Brenda Pina was elected to represent Ward 4 unopposed.
“The certification of our election results reflects the will of Elgin’s voters, and I’m proud of the city’s commitment to an open and transparent process,” City Manager Robert Eads said in a statement. “We congratulate each of the newly elected officials and look forward to the work ahead on behalf of our community.”
No candidates filed to run for the Ward 1 seat held by Joy Casnovsky, whose term ends this month.
According to the Elgin Home Rule Charter, when a council vacancy occurs more than 90 days before the next regular election, the dais appoints a replacement rather than calling a special election.
The council will also select two new representatives for the Elgin Economic Development Corporation board, following the departure of council members Chuck Swain and Sue Brasher.
