The city of Austin held elections for city council on November 4, 2014. The candidate filing deadline was August 18, 2014. Because of redistricting and term limits, there was no incumbent for District 4.[2] Candidates included Gregorio Casar, Katrina M. Daniel, Monica A. Guzman, Louis C. Herrin III, Marco Mancillas, Sharon E. Mays, Roberto Perez, Jr. and Laura Pressley. Because no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote in the general election, the top two vote-getters - Casar and Pressley - faced each other in a runoff election on December 16, 2014.[3][4] Casar was the winner.[5]
