Marfa
Two of the three City Council incumbents lost their seats in Saturday’s election. Challengers Emily Kolb and Katy Kowal were victorious as the top vote-getters, along with incumbent Mark Cash in third place to retain his seat.
Marfa’s elections are run by plurality, meaning all seats are at-large, and the top three vote-getters are elected to three seats.
Failing to make the top three were incumbent Mark Morrison and Eddie Pallarez, along with challengers Christopher Johnson and Sal Tornabene. Vote totals:
Emily Kolb: 217
Katy Kowal: 203
Mark Cash: 197
Mark Morrison: 181
Eddie Pallarez: 177
Christopher Johnson: 152
Sal Tornabene: 91
Total votes: 426
Council members usually take office after the council canvasses votes in a regular meeting and within 30 days after being elected.
