See Corpus Christi City Council races, candidates going to runoff

In about three weeks, Corpus Christi voters will again have the option to cast their ballots for the candidates they want to represent them on the City Council. In all, there will be seven races on the ballot: one each for five district representatives, another for selection of two at-large positions and one for mayoral office. Each of the district races and the mayoral race are expected to go to a runoff election after unofficial voting returns did not show any candidate garnering the majority vote of at least 50.1% to win the spots outright. In the case of the at-large race, a runoff will determine two of the three seats. The only candidate elected in that race outright was incumbent Mark Scott, who secured a 16.18% share of voter support. None of the remaining at-large candidates earned at least 12% of the votes cast, meaning the top vote-getters who fell behind Scott in second, third and fourth place will vie for the two empty chairs on the council. The voting returns released Election Day, Nov. 3, are considered unofficial pending formal canvassing. Below are the candidates expected to be on the ballot, broken down by race.

Forget Florida, Retire To Texas' Gulf Coast County With Vibrant Cities, Island Beaches, And Affordable Living

When it comes to deciding on a place to retire, it is easy to look to Florida as it has a long history of being America's premier retirement destination. However, overcrowding and soaring living costs mean more seniors are looking elsewhere for a place to live out their golden years. Texas emerges as an attractive alternative; not only do retirees there still enjoy abundant sunshine and beautiful beaches, but the cost of living falls well below that of Florida. Nueces County is particularly affordable, while providing residents with beach access, plenty of entertainment options, and a vivacious, coastal lifestyle with a subtropical climate.
