In District 2, Thompson earned 147 of the 204 early votes, and DeLaCruz held 41.
As votes started the roll in through the night, Thompson and Miller s leads continued to expand. Final results showed Thompson with 417 votes, nearly 70% of the vote, which pointed toward his reelection.
Miller earned the most votes out of any SMD candidate with 896, beating DeWitt s 635. He credited his win to his team s old fashioned campaigning, which included phone calls and knocking on doors. I had someone tell me, you get a handshake out of someone, you seal their vote, and it worked, Miller said. I have a lot of learning to do . but I m looking forward to it.

Mayor
Dietrick Tillis: To me, the top priority is fixing the potholes in our city. As I have been on the campaign trail and visited several different communities, the one consistent issue that everyone agrees (on) is the condition of the roads in San Angelo. The infrastructure in the city is literally crumbling. I want to create a safe streets initiative to address the potholes in the city.
Brenda Gunter: The city s main function is to provide for the infrastructure and the public safety of the citizens of San Angelo. We must continue to invest back into the infrastructure of the city, and that means into the reconstruction, repair and maintenance of our city s streets. It also means the city must continue to repair and replace old water and sewer lines. Not only is it a primary function of the city, but it is also remains a great need due to many years of the city not having a plan in place to re-invest in the repair and maintenance of all city streets, water and sewer l

On May 1, San Angelo will choose between three mayoral candidates. Incumbent Brenda Gunter, the city s first elected female mayor, will face two challengers: Silvara Lawson and Dietrick Tillis.
