There’s a lot for voters to consider on the ballot for the Tuesday, Nov. 3, general election.

In the 3rd Congressional District, Rep. Keith Self, a Republican, is seeking his third term in the U.S. House. He is opposed by Evan Hunt, the Democratic nominee. 

Republicans in the Texas House seeking re-election include Jeff Leach in District 67 and Candy Noble in District 89.

The Democratic challengers Jordan Wheatley in 67, Angie Carraway in 89.

Non-partisan local elections on the ballot include board members for the Princeton Independent School District and two seats on the Princeton City Council.

In the Princeton ISD, incumbent trustees Cyndi Darland and Starla Sharpe are seeking re-election to three-year terms. The challengers are Charlotte Wilson and Ricky Gillespie.

The two candidates with the most votes will be elected without a runoff.

Places 6 and 7 on the Princeton City Council are open, with Ken Seligman and Sumbel “Susan” Zeb seeking to succeed Ben Long in Place 6 and Deshawyna Walker running unopposed for Place 7 held by Carolyn David-Graves, who decided not to run again.

Two big county bond elections are also on the ballot. 

The Collin County Commissioners Court is asking voters to authorize up to $817.5 million in bonds for county facilities, roads and bridges, parks and open space, and a new elections and records storage facility.

A six-year program, covering fiscal years 2027 through 2032, would divide the proposed investment among four propositions.

Proposition A would provide $296.5 million for court and detention facility projects, including improvements to court facilities, adult detention facilities, medical and mental health detention facilities and adult probation facilities.

Proposition B would provide $475 million for road improvement projects, including the design, construction, improvement and maintenance of non-tolled roads and bridges. The proposition also would cover land and right-of-way acquisitions and participation in joint county-state and county-city projects.

Proposition C would provide $6 million for parks and open space projects, including the acquisition, development, construction and improvement of park and open-space land and joint county-city projects.

Proposition D would provide $40 million for a new elections and records storage facility. The facility would include elections offices and training space, election and equipment storage, and storage for county records and historical documents.

Collin County Trustees are seeking to raise $600 million for expansion including three new facilities. The proposition wound fund workforce and academic expansions at the McKinney Campus, the Technical Campus located in Allen, the Frisco Campus, the Wylie Campus, the Farmersville Campus and the Courtyard Center located in Plano. 

The proposition also includes funding for new facilities, including an Aviation Academy in McKinney, a new campus in Anna and a new campus in Royse City.

Collin Central Appraisal District Board of Directors has three places on the ballot. Randal Shinn is unopposed for Place 1, and Joe Corcoran is unopposed for Place 3. Place 2 is contested by Michael G. Smith and Andrew Cook.
