Following is a listing of those running for office.

Lampasas City Council: Up for election are the seats of Debbie Fuller, Place 3; Wanda Bierschwale, Place 4; and Les Gerhardt, Place 5.

All three incumbents have filed for their seats, and Dayton Carpenter has filed to run for Mrs. Bierschwale's seat.

Lometa City Council: Seats to be on the ballot in May include those of the mayor, held by David Ivey who was appointed after the death of Mike McGarry, and at-large seats of Cynthia Kirby, George Watson and Toni Torres. The seat filled by Kyle Walton when Ivey was appointed mayor also is up for election.

Mrs. Torres did not file for re-election.

Kempner City Council: Positions that were open for balloting were those of the mayor, Gene Isenhour; Paul Cook, Place 1; and Melba Vandeveer, Place 5.
