Early Voting Ends In Pasadena Election For Mayor, City Council District H

PASADENA, TX — The June 10 runoff election to elect Pasadena’s next mayor now looms as the early voting periods ended Tuesday.

The early voting period began May 30 and pitted Councilman Jeff Wagner against Pasadena businessman J.R. Moon who both look to replace Mayor Johnny Isbell.

The race started with a bang, with Wagner allegedly caught the day before the start of early voting touching Moon’s campaign signs along a busy right-of-way.

Once confronted, Wagner said he was attempting to move one of his own campaign signs that was allegedly blocking one of Moon’s signs.

However, it was Moon’s sign that campaign officials said Wagner touched.

The mini controversy ignited claims from Moon of dirty politics, who accused Wagner of stealing campaign signs, which he denied, according to a Houston Chronicle report.

Voters can cast their ballots in the general runoff election for mayor and for the District H council seat on Saturday, June 10 from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.
