Muni Filings: Race to May under way

Who will fill these empty City Council seats? (Photo by John Anderson)

Consider the die cast, the Rubicon crossed, the pooch screwed. As of 5pm Monday, March 10, your municipal candidates – for City Coun­cil, Austin Com­munity College board, and the Austin Indepen­dent School District board – sealed their respective fates by applying for a spot on the ballot (or failing to do so). At right is a list of the May 10 candidates; while there are no huge surprises, late-filers popped up in Place 1 and in AISD, 21-year-old Trevor Titman and his platform of relaxed bar hours didn't make the cut in Place 3, and over at ACC, the incumbent board chair decided not to run.
