• Ballots for the City of Kilgore, Texas include the mayoral race between incumbent Ronnie Spradlin and newcomer Darrin Mallett while Place 2 City Council member Alan VanDoren is running unopposed; his new term will begin later in May.

• Kilgore College Central Zone (Kilgore ISD) residents have a three-way race to consider for trustee: candidates include Jeannie Johnson, Verenice Ordorica and Ruth F. Williams. In the KC North Zone (White Oak ISD, Gladewater ISD and Sabine ISD) Jason Steele is now unopposed — longtime trustee Larry A. Woodfin has withdrawn his candidacy as he’s moving out of the North Zone: “I’m in a bit of an awkward position,” he quipped to voters at Kilgore Area Chamber of Commerce’s Candidates Forum April 7. The 23-year KC board veteran congratulated Steele on the dais that night.

Kilgore ISD has two contested races for school board in addition to one unopposed candidate: Ubaldo Meraz and Johna Tritt are vying for KISD Place 5 and Place 7 incumbent Dana Sneed faces challenger Rudy Galvan; Rachel Harrington has no challenger in her re-election bid for Place 6 trustee.
