City council and school board election results for May 4

The unofficial results are in for both the Dripping Springs City Council race, and the Dripping Springs ISD race.

For city council, all three incumbents held on to their seats-- Taline Manassian for Place 1, Bill Foulds for Place 3, and Wm Travis Crow for Place 5.  

In the most hotly contested race for Place 5, Crow won 50% of the ballot (148 votes), with challengers Geoffrey Tahuahua coming in at 36% of the ballot (107 votes), and Steve Randall coming in at 14% of the ballot (41 votes). During the campaign, Crow had filed a lawsuit against Tahuahua essentially questioning Tahuahua’s residency qualification to run for city council.

In the Place 1 race, Manassian’s opponent Anthony Aristar dropped out of the race immediately after filing (and placing his name on the ballot), yet still garnered 42 votes against Manassian’s 234 votes.

For Place 3, Bill Foulds ran unopposed.

In the DSISD School Board race, the winners for the two seats were the incumbent Marisa Grijalva with 1,250 votes, and newcomer Joanna Day with 1,225 votes.  Challenger Rob Satterfield lost with 1,067 votes, and challenger Kara Mayfield lost with 703 votes.

DSISD trustees do not represent “places,” rather the top two vote-getters get elected.

The results are still unofficial.
