No May elections in Troup

TROUP – Troup City Council has decided to call off their May 2 elections, calling two city council seat elections and the mayor’s race. The city council unanimously decided to declare Mayor Jeff Hale, Council Place 2 Nelson Darden and Council Place 4 Susan Adams as the winners in their individual races since they’re all running unopposed following the recent primary elections.

Since the three candidates are running unopposed, the council decided there would be no need to go ahead with the May 2 election. The City of Lufkin also recently cancelled their May 2 election for similar reasons.
