| Most city races undecided By BARRY BURLESON Three of six city races are headed to a May 19 runoff, including the one for mayor.

Incumbent Garrie Colhoun of Ward 3 was the only clear winner Tuesday night after unofficial election results were tallied. He received 371 votes to Christopher Stephenson’s 215. Incumbent mayor Andre’ DeBerry and challenger Barry Thomas are headed to a May 19 runoff. Election Tuesday By BARRY BURLESON
