LEAGUE CITY — Voters on Saturday ousted incumbent Mayor Jerry Shults and chose to keep the councilman who in the last year became harshly critical of him.

But who will take Shults’ place won’t be clear until run-off elections June 14, when voters will choose between hardware store owner Toni Randall and caregiver Chris Mallios, both strong detractors of Shults.

Randall received 1,576 votes, or 44 percent, compared to Mallios’ 1,043 votes or 29 percent, according to complete, unofficial results.

Shults received 934 votes, or 26 percent.

In the race for council Position 1, attorney Neil Baron received 1,604 votes, or 46 percent, compared to attorney Tad Nelson’s 1,205 votes and real estate agent Jerry Jones’ 660 votes.

Baron and Nelson will also compete in the June run-off.

Position 2 incumbent Mike Barber received a landslide 2,393 votes, or 69 percent, compared to challenger Casey Montgomery’s 1,071 votes.

Klein bond package squeaks through

A school bond package worth more than half a billion dollars, narrowly passed muster with voters in the Klein ISD Saturday. By a margin of just 300 votes, residents cleared the way for the district to build new schools, including about $100 million on high schools alone.

The bond package, which totals $647 million, was controversial. Opponents complained that the district was overspending and allocating the funds in the wrong places.

The Klein bond proposal was the largest of the nearly $1.6 billion in school bonds area school districts asked voters to approve.

Outside of a $103 million bond proposal in Crosby that failed, all the other bond issues in the area passed.

That included a $420 million bond issue for the Lone Star College District, the largest community college district in the area.

New courthouse coming in Fort Bend; New mayor in Sugar Land

Fort Bend County voters overwhelmingly approved $74 million to be spent on building a new courthouse on Saturday. Meanwhile in Sugar Land, voters will have to go to the polls again in about a month to pick Mayor Dave Wallace's replacement.

James Thompson and Daniel Wong survived a three-way contest for Sugar Land mayor to force a runoff. Thompson outgained Wong by about 700 votes in Saturday's city election.

Jacquie Chaumette bested S.B. Gaddi to win the Sugar Land Council Pos. 2 race.

Incumbents fall hard in Galveston

GALVESTON — Voters rejected both incumbents who sought re-election Saturday, electing four new members to city council.

District 6 incumbent Dianna Puccetti, who received 340 votes, lost to Karen Mahoney, who had 428 votes.

District 3 incumbent Juan Peña lost to Elizabeth Beeton, getting just 217 votes to her 286 votes.

West End voters were motivated by the Marquette Land Investments decision, in which the city council gave a Chicago developer approval to build 4,000 homes, a golf course, marina and 15-story beachfront hotel, Mahoney said.

Sinkhole doesn't sink mayor's re-election

Despite having spent the better part of a week dealing with a massive sinkhole, Daisetta Mayor Lynn Wells held onto his seat Saturday. Wells bested challenger Eric Thaxton by just 12 votes.

Then again only 206 people in the town of about 1,000, made it to the polls in Daisetta. Meanwhile Raymond Sanders and Grady Hart are headed for a runoff in the Council Pos. 3 race in Daisetta.
