The Midland City Council was slated to approve a resolution that would canvass the returns and declare the results of the special election held on May 4 for an at-large council position. The unofficial returns indicated Eric Davidson as the winner of this special election.
According to the agenda for its May 14 meeting, the Midland City Council was expected to receive the official results from the Midland County Elections Administrator on May 13, in preparation for their subsequent meeting.
The election was conducted to fill an unexpired at-large term, as detailed in the Midland City Council's agenda for its May 14 meeting. This position had become vacant due to the unfortunate demise of former Councilmember Dan Corrales, who died from an accidental gunshot wound, as reported by a Midland Times article.
Five candidates competed in this special election. These included James "Bull" Henry, Eric Davidson, John Burkholder, Cheston Blank, and Ben Roberts. The information is according to the agenda of the Midland City Council's meeting on May 14. The elected candidate will serve out an unexpired term of three years. Davidson is anticipated to be sworn in by the city secretary.
Davidson recently shared his thoughts and plans with the Midland Times regarding his upcoming tenure on the Midland City Council.
