Greg Brockhouse was the top vote recipient on election night and advanced to the runoff because he did not win a majority of the votes. The race for his runoff competitor was too close to call on election night, as only 28 votes separated second and third place finishers Melissa Cabello Havrda and Treviño. Treviño could have petitioned for a recount due to the narrow margin, but informed Ballotpedia that he would not seek it on May 9, 2017.[19]
