Races for Celina mayor, Celina City Council and Celina ISD school board were decided in a joint election on May 2. 

There were 1,817 votes cast for city races and 1,712 votes cast for school board races. Some people who live within city limits and vote in city races live outside Celina ISD boundaries and therefore can’t vote in school board races, and vice versa. Still, there is a large overlap between the two constituencies.

In a nutshell: Celina’s population grew 269% from 2020 to 2025, according to data from the North Central Texas Council of Governments. That growth wasn’t reflected in the number of votes cast in the recent city and school board elections, which dipped slightly compared to last year’s May elections.

For the first time in over a decade, there is no incumbent in the Texas attorney general's race as Republican Ken Paxton runs for U.S. Senate. Candidates on both sides of the aisle will compete in runoff elections May 26 after no candidate received more than 50% of the vote in the March 3 primaries.

State Sen. Nathan Johnson, D-Dallas, and former Galveston Mayor Joe Jaworski are vying for the Democratic nomination.

The overview: In a three-way primary race, Johnson secured 48% of the vote while Jaworski received 26% of the vote. The winner of the May 26 overtime round will face the Republican nominee and potential third-party candidates in November.

The context: The attorney general serves as Texas' top lawyer, defending the state in court, filing consumer protection lawsuits and issuing opinions interpreting state law. The agency also enforces Texas' child support laws, investigates human trafficking cases and manages access to public records.

At the polls: Texans can vote early from May 18-22 and runoff election day is May 26.
