New Braunfels City Council calls May election for mayor, 2 council member seats

New Braunfels City Council called a May election for mayor and two City Council seats Feb. 9.

In New Braunfels, the mayor is elected to a three-year term and is elected at-large, with a limit of three consecutive terms. The term “at-large” means the seat represents the entire city, and not singular districts, according to the city’s charter.

Mayor Neal Linnartz was sworn into the seat in May 2023, winning nearly 60% of the vote, as previously reported by Community Impact.

The two council seats up for election are Districts 5 and 6, currently held by Mary Ann Labowski and April Ryan, respectively. Labowski was also sworn in after the May 2023 election, while Ryan was sworn in in June following a runoff election, as previously reported by Community Impact.
