Elections

Yoakum’s city council incumbents edged out by challengers

As few as two votes in one race and five in another is all that separated the winners from the losers Saturday in Yoakum’s first contested city council race in a couple decades, unofficial election night returns showed.

Lavaca County has much riding on today’s elections

Moulton decides a school board seat. Shiner picks who will serve on its council. Yoakum chooses council members, too, for the first time in nearly two decades. And Hallettsville weighs in on both council and school board members, as well as a proposed $13.8 million school bond package.
