Kris Cox advances to City Council runoff race by single vote

Kris Cox will run against Sunny Busby for the Place 1 seat on Denton City Council in December.

According to a Nov. 10 city announcement, Cox secured the spot on the runoff ballot after final unofficial election results came in.

What happened? After the Nov. 3 election, unofficial results from Nov. 4 showed Busby earned the most overall votes, Cox and Michael Herron were tied for second place and Ward Franz secured the fourth-most votes for the District 1 seat.

Outstanding ballots by mail and provisional ballots needed to be counted yet by the Denton County Elections Administration to possibly serve as a tie-breaker since three candidates cannot be on a runoff ballot, Community Impact previously reported.

According to the updated unofficial results the city provided, the vote counts show:

  • Busby earned 3,196 votes, or 42.76%

  • Cox secured 1,551 votes, or 20.75%

  • Herron received 1,550 votes, or 20.74%

  • Franz earned 1,178 votes, or 15.76%
