One last round of elections for 2024: Your Austin-area Runoff guide


After the monumental presidential election of 2024, most of us were content to prop our feet up, pop open a Topo Chico for this warm end to the year, and take a well-deserved break from the daily political grind.

Not so fast: there remains some unfinished business in many places, and that includes Travis County. If you live in Austin ISD, City of Austin District 7, and/or the City of Manor, there's a runoff election scheduled for this Saturday, Dec. 14. More info here. So far, just under 14,000 voters have submitted their ballots.

While there are no strong conservatives in the running this time, we believe there remain candidates that are head-and-shoulders above their competitors in terms of experience and overall philosophy. That's why we put together this short voters guide for you last-minute shoppers.
