League City voters face six decisions on the Nov. 3 ballot: a mayor's race, four council seats, a special election and a proposition on Flock cameras used by police.
Monday, Oct. 5, is the last day to register to vote or update an existing registration. Mailed applications must be postmarked by that date.
The city's election notice, signed by Mayor Nick Long on Thursday, Oct. 1, lays out the full ballot. All council positions are at-large, meaning every member represents the entire city.
Who's running
Mayor: Incumbent Nick Long, a consultant, faces challenger Tom Crews. Crews currently holds the Position 3 council seat.
Position 1: Gordon Bethel, Dinah Carpenter and Dina DuBose Driskill, an attorney, are running for the seat held by incumbent Andy Mann. Mann does not appear on the ballot.
Position 2: Incumbent Tommy Cones faces Gregory Van Etten.
Position 3 (special election, unexpired term ending November 2028): Robert Bruce, a paramedic, Julius Segelquist and Seth Rowlands. Crews currently holds this seat.
Position 6: Sean Doyle, a banker, and Lisa Welty are competing for the seat held by incumbent Chad Tressler. Tressler does not appear on the ballot.
Position 7: Incumbent Sean Saunders faces Teresa Potter.
Candidate names come from the Galveston County ballot certification. If no candidate wins a majority, a runoff is set for Dec. 12.
Proposition A: Flock cameras
The ballot asks a nonbinding question: Should the League City Police Department (LCPD) continue using automated license plate reader cameras at fixed locations on public roadways?
The result is advisory. Council keeps the final say on camera policy regardless of how residents vote, according to Community Impact.
The city approved funding for 42 Flock cameras in its fiscal year 2023 budget. Council later approved a five-year agreement valued at nearly $900,000 covering 70 cameras in December 2023, as Click2Houston reported.
The LCPD now has 55 active cameras, with 16 more awaiting Texas Department of Transportation permits. City data from August 2026 showed the system aided 305 criminal investigations in a 12-month period and helped recover about $1 million in stolen property.
Council placed the proposition on the ballot via Ordinance No. 2026-27, adopted Aug. 11.
"The real issue is we've seen the abuses in neighboring cities … Where's the data going on the company side, and how can we protect that data?" Long said at the Aug. 11 council meeting when he proposed the referendum.
Segelquist, who is also running for the Position 3 seat, spoke against the cameras at the same meeting. He told KGTX7 News he does not trust Flock to keep data secure.
