UPDATE: Early voting results for the November 4, 2023 election show intense competition in the Roman Forest City Council races, with challengers David Mullane and Ricky Warwick taking early leads. The results are crucial as they could determine the future direction of the city council.
In the race for Position 2, Mullane is ahead with 126 votes, while his opponents, Linda Stewart and incumbent Chris Ellis, trail with 105 and 34 votes, respectively. The competition is heating up as every vote counts in this tightly contested election.
Meanwhile, in the Position 4 race, Warwick is leading incumbent Greg Partin by a slim margin of 123 to 116 votes. The results underscore a growing desire for change among voters in Roman Forest.
While the mayoral race is less contentious—with incumbent Chris Parr running unopposed and retaining his position—voters are clearly engaged in the council elections, reflecting a significant interest in local governance.
The Roman Forest City Council consists of five council members and a mayor, all serving staggered two-year terms. Candidates must meet residency requirements, having lived in Texas for at least one year and in Roman Forest for a minimum of six months prior to filing.
