Unofficial voting results show incumbent Brigid Shea has won the race for Travis County commissioner Precinct 2. George Morales and Susanna Ledesma-Woody will head to a runoff for the Precinct 4 seat.
Shea, who has held the Precinct 2 position for a decade, finished with more than 57% of the vote. Civil rights attorney Amanda Marzullo trailed behind with nearly 31% of the vote. Rick Astray-Caneda had more than 6% of the vote; Reese Ricci Armstrong had above 5%.
The Precinct 4 race now heads to a runoff between Morales, the former Travis County Precinct 4 constable, and Ledesma-Woody, an activist and Del Valle ISD trustee.
Morales has a slight lead with 36.9% of the vote, and Ledesma-Woody trails behind with 35.7%. The two remaining candidates — Ofelia Maldonado Zapata and Gavino Fernandez — had roughly 21% and 6% of the vote, respectively.
Texas requires candidates to earn more than 50% of votes to win a race. If no candidate receives more than half of all votes, a runoff election will be held for the top two candidates with the highest percentage of votes.
No Republican candidates are running in either county commissioner race, which means whoever comes out on top will run unopposed in November.
Travis County voters overwhelmingly swung in favor of Texas Rep. James Talarico in the U.S. Senate race with more than 75% of the vote.
Results are considered unofficial until they are canvassed by local officials.
