Alpine voters approved four proposed city charter amendments and elected Rozolen Stanford to the Ward 5 City Council seat Tuesday, while Brewster County voters overwhelmingly supported the creation of Emergency Services District No. 2, according to unofficial election results.
Stanford received 176 votes in the Ward 5 contest. Her opponent, Isaiah Olayinka, withdrew from the race after the deadline to remove his name from the ballot, meaning his name still appeared before voters.
Alpine voters also considered seven proposed amendments to the city’s home rule charter.
According to preliminary results, Propositions A through D received majority support citywide. Proposition A was rejected by voters in Ward 3, although it received sufficient support elsewhere to pass citywide.
The specific changes proposed under the seven amendments could not be independently verified from the available 2026 ballot materials. Results for Propositions E, F and G were also not included in the preliminary information provided.
The city previously held a charter amendment election in November 2024, when voters approved nine proposed changes. Those measures were part of a separate election and should not be confused with Tuesday’s propositions.
Elsewhere in Brewster County, voters supported the creation of Emergency Services District No. 2 by a substantial margin.
The measure received 2,498 votes in favor and 533 against, representing approximately 82.4% support among ballots cast on the proposition.
Emergency services districts are special-purpose local government entities authorized under Texas law to provide or support emergency services, including fire protection and emergency medical services. Depending on the district’s authorization, funding can come from property taxes, sales taxes or other legally permitted revenue sources.
In another local contest, write-in candidate Mickey Cox reportedly conceded the Precinct 1 justice of the peace race to Felipe Fierro.
However, vote totals for that race were not included in the preliminary information available from the Brewster County Elections Office.
The election also included the Precinct 3 justice of the peace contest between Susana Gonzales and Mike Johnson, although results for that race were not available in the information reviewed.
All election results remain unofficial until the required canvassing and certification processes are completed.
Additional results, including the outstanding Alpine charter propositions and justice of the peace contests, are expected as election officials release updated information.
