Mayoral races for the May 8 elections in both Rollingwood and West Lake Hills are expected to be cancelled after only one candidate in each city filed to run by the deadline Monday.

Alderman Bill Hamilton was the lone candidate to file for the mayor’s race in Rollingwood after Mayor Dale Dingley opted not to seek re-election, and incumbent Mayor Dave Claunch was the only candidate in West Lake Hills.

However, city council elections in both municipalities will feature contested races.

West Lake Hills Place 2 incumbent Councilman Andrew Schwartz will face former council member Katherine Loayza, and former council member Jane Noble will face Jean Goehring in Place 4. Place 4 incumbent Councilwoman Cindy Probst announced before filing began that she would not seek re-election. Loayza had previously filed to run for Place 4 but withdrew and filed for Place 2 shortly before the deadline.

Rollingwood, which features an at-large City Council election in which the top two vote-getters win, will have four candidates facing off for two positions. They are incumbent Alderwoman Shanthi Jayakumar, Sara Hutson, Kelli Carlton and Barry Bone. Incumbent Alderman Brian Nalle opted not to seek re-election.

Early voting in both cities runs from April 26-May 4 at Randalls, 3300 Bee Cave Road, from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Saturday and Sunday from noon -6 p.m., or at any of the other early voting polling locations provided by Travis County.

West Lake Hills’ polling place on Election Day is Valley View Elementary School, 1201 Capital of Texas Highway. Rollingwood’s polling place is at City Hall, 403 Nixon Drive.

Polls are open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. on Election Day.
