2014
The November 4, 2014, general election in Austin Independent School District featured five seats up for election. The District 1 race featured four candidates; P. Kevin Bryant, Edmund T. Gordon, Stanton Strickland, and David “D” Thompson competed for the seat held by Cheryl Bradley. Since neither Gordon nor Thompson garnered 50 percent "plus one" or more of the vote, they faced each other in a runoff election on December 16, 2014. Gordon triumphed over Thompson in that race.
The District 4 race featured newcomers Julie Cowan and Karen Zern Flanagan, as incumbent Vincent Torres did not file for-election. Cowan triumphed over Flanagan in that race. The District 6 race featured three candidates; Kate Mason-Murphy, Monica Sanchez, and Paul Saldaña vied for the seat held by Lori Moya. Mason-Murphy and Saldaña headed to the runoff election, where Saldaña was victorious.
The lone incumbent to file for re-election was Robert Schneider in District 7. He defeated challenger Yasmin Wagner. Meanwhile, the at-large position held by Tamala Barksdale drew five challengers; Nael Chavez, Kendall Pace, Kazique J. Prince, Hillary Procknow, and Andy M. Trimino competed for that seat. Neither Pace nor Procknow received a majority of the vote, so they competed in the runoff election. Pace defeated Procknow in that election.
