can and Democratic tickets, went unopposed.
Fernando “Fred” Pruneda entered a bid for Terrell”s office earlier this year, but fell short at the polls, earning only 475 votes (35.5 percent) to Terrell”s 865 (64.6 percent). Former Lockhart police officer W. Neal Rodgers posed less of a challenge to Callihan, receiving only 269 votes (26.2 percent) to Callihan”s 758 (73.8 percent). Neither Terrell nor Callihan will face a challenge from the Republican party on the November General Election ballot.
