Lakeway Mayor Sandy Cox will leave office on Monday after serving in the role for three years and winning back-to-back elections in 2018 and 2019 when the city changed term lengths for local officials. Cox said she first ran to try to bring people together as the city underwent rapid growth and a shifting demographic.
“I'm a planner,” she said. “I really thought we needed some tools in place for the city to get much more sophisticated about how we approach economic development, plan for the future and bring the voices of the people in. ... How do we encourage people to participate? How do we really hear what they want?”
