Early voting for the May 1 municipal and school board election begins Monday.

Fort Worth residents will vote for mayor from a pool of 10 candidates who want to replace Betsy Price, who is not seeking reelection after 10 years. Almost 50 are running in eight council districts. Arlington voters will also be electing a new mayor and four city council members.

Southeast Tarrant County residents, including most in Arlington and Mansfield, will choose from 23 candidates to fill Ron Wright’s seat in the House of Representatives. Wright, an Arlington Republican, died on Feb. 7 after battles with COVID-19 and lung cancer.

School board races are also on the ballot.
