The runoff has already had its share of questionable political practices with Wagner accused of touching Moon’s campaign signs on Richey Road, while several involved with local campaigns watched from a local donut shop.

In a Houston Chronicle report, both sides leveled veiled accusations that campaign signs were stolen, though neither Moon nor Wagner have publicly blamed each other.

Meanwhile, candidates for the Council District A, Daniel Vela and Felipe Villarreal are also facing off in the runoff, to replace Ornaldo Ybarra, who was term limited.

Early voting continues through June 6, with the general election held Saturday, June 10.
