Fielder to host press conference addressing runoff, city issues

Friday, 29 May 2009

Leander Place 5 councilman and Mayor Pro Tem Chris Fielder will host a press conference June 1 at 7 p.m. at the Leander Public Library.

The purpose of the conference will be to discuss the upcoming runoff election, the growth of Leander, to dispel rumors about the city’s water situation and to offer an open endorsement of candidates for the runoff, Fielder stated via e-mail.

The runoffs will determine the mayoral race, as well as three city council positions: Mayor John Cowman faces former councilwoman Iris Davis for that position; Place 4 incumbent Michell Cantwell squares off with Cathy Broun; Place 6 incumbent Dave Siebold faces Josh Payne; former council members Mark Kronkosky and Andrea Navarrette are running in the Place 1 special election.

Early voting will be June 1-6, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. and June 8-9 from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. The polls will be closed Sunday, June 7.

Election day is June 13, 7 a.m.-7 p.m.
