Mission's elections will likely move to November
A bill filed by State Senator Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa (D-McAllen), which would move the election date for the Mission city council, made progress this week in the Texas Legislature.
Senate Bill 447 was approved unanimously by the State Affairs Committee and as of press time, was on the local and uncontested calendar, which is used to contemplate legislation considered non-controversial or applicable to a small geographic area.
“Issues that are local or uncontested, and this is a local bill, this is where it goes,” Hinojosa said. “I got it out of the senate at the request of the mayor and Mission voters.”
The bill companion is House Bill 4792, which is carried by Sergio Muñoz, Jr. (D-Mission) and R.D. “Bobby” Guerra (D-Edinburg), and has been referred to the house elections committee.
