On February 13 there was a special election to fill some seats in Kyle's local government. We had a few city council seats and the mayor's seat to fill. Of all the people who live in Kyle... 1,005 people voted. I was one of them.

Lucy Johnson is now the mayor of Kyle.
Jaime Sanchez won  Council Place 5
Russell Huebner won Council Place 6

According to wikipedia Kyle's 2008 Census showed the city has 26,103 people living here. So... 1/26 of the population cared to vote. *slow clap for Kyle*  

I guess I should be glad a thousand people cared to vote. Think positive Sean.
HEY YOU 1,004 OTHER PEOPLE.. YOU ROCK. This post is dedicated to you.

Early voting for the vacant Place 5 Kyle City Council seat began yesterday...

I've seen signs for Chad Benninghoff and Lucy Johnson, but none for the other candidates, Bob Straub, or Ron Barrera.

To read a letter three of the four candidates wrote to the local newspaper (Hays Free Press), follow this link from a July 2 article:

More information on where to vote, I found this PDF on the City of Kyle website::
