OMG a runoff election and I haven't posted yet!

Yep, two days ago the city held a runoff election to try and settle positions in which nobody had a clear majority such as Sheriff, two judgeships, a constable, and two county commissioners.
Unofficially the winners are:
Sheriff: Wiles 61%
Commissioner (Precinct 1): Perez 70%
Commissioner (Precinct 3): Gandara 57%
Constable (Precinct 7): Sommers 58%
Judge (448th District): Arditti 69%
Judge (65th District): Gutierrez 60%

I also forgot to mention in a previous post that the new police chief is Greg Allen. This position is not voted for but is filled by a City Manager, in this case Joyce Wilson picked Allen because of what the community told her. I know a retired cop who used to do patrol with him and he told me that Allen was a great guy who really worked his way up.
