Rain Settles In Across the County for Monday Morning
Uvalde, TX · November 9, 2026
A steady gray rain is tapping against the tin roofs across town this morning, softening the start to the workweek. Keep the headlights on along Highway 90 and give yourself a little extra room on the wet pavement.
The Lead
Following last week's midterm elections, local attention turns to the official certification of ballots as election workers finalize counts. The Uvalde County Elections Office has until November 17 to complete the canvass and official certification of all local tallies. The certification will officially establish the timeline for the District 5 City Council runoff between Jo-Anna Kruse and Vincent Salazar III, who emerged as the top two finishers separated by just 18 votes. Under municipal charter rules, any contest where no candidate claims an outright majority triggers a runoff within weeks. Meanwhile, certified results will formalize terms for uncontested races and county leadership shifts. City Hall will post the formal canvass schedule and upcoming runoff polling dates once the board of canvassers completes its review.
