Since the filing period to be on the November ballot has begun, candidates have tossed their names into the ring in hopes of either being re-elected, unseating an incumbent, or taking the place of a politician who is not seeking another term.
The City of Baytown has three council positions up for election, while the nearby cities of Beach City and Old River-Winfree also have open positions. Crosby ISD has all seven board positions open this election cycle.
