EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) - Incumbent city representative for District 4 Joe “Chief” Molinar and Cynthia Boyar Trejo appear headed for a runoff after the latest voting results were released at 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Molinar leads with 38.73 percent or 7,450 votes. In second is business owner Trejo with 27.35 percent or 5,261 votes. They are followed by consultant Wesley Lawrence with 18.61 percent or 3,579 votes and then retired insurance specialist Dorothy “Sissy” M. Byrd with 15.31 percent or 2,944 votes. If no one gets more than 50 percent of the vote, that would trigger a runoff between the top two finishers. District 4 represents parts of Northeast El Paso, roughly north of Hondo Pass Drive. In District 5, chief of staff for Rep. Isabel Salcido Ivan Niño continues to lead with 37.92 percent or 5,641 votes, followed by social services worker and consultant Amanda Cunningham with 24.95 percent or 3,711 votes and close behind is retiree from the Federal Bureau of Prisons Felix J. Muñoz with 21.24 percent or 3,160 votes. Other candidates with less than 10 percent are: self-employed Tamara Lantigua Davis with 8.88 percent or 1,321 votes and finally security guard supervisor Sean “Kowalski” Orr with 7.01 percent or 1,043 votes. The candidates are seeking to replace Salcido, who is vacating her District 5 seat to run for mayor. District 5 represents most of the El Paso Upper Eastside east of Joe Battle Boulevard and roughly north of Montwood Drive.  In District 7, retired educator and former District 7 representative Lily Limón is still in the lead of the race to take incumbent City Rep. Henry Rivera's position against three other candidates. Limón is leading with 41.27 percent or 7,805 votes, second is political consultant and Ysleta Independent School District trustee Chris Hernandez with 22.06 percent or 4,171 votes, followed by chair of the El Paso Neighborhood Coalition Fabiola Campos Lopez with 20.69 percent or 3,912 votes and then businessman and environmentalist Alan Serna with 15.99 percent or 3,023 votes. If this race goes to a runoff, only the top two finishers advance. Because of term limits, Rivera could not run for re-election. He will complete his time in office in January. District 7 covers most of the El Paso Lower Valley and parts of the Eastside.
