Council Member Jerry Wyatt is running unopposed in his race. Mayor Allen Owen and Council Member Nguyen each have one candidate running against them, and they will need our help to turn out the REALTOR® vote in their favor. Both Mayoral and At-Large positions are citywide, so any resident who is registered may vote for both of these men.

Sugar Land Local Election
**Election has been cancelled**
Pictured above are Mayor James Thompson, At-Large Position 1 Council Member Himesh Gandhi, and At-Large Position 2 Council Member Joe Zimmerman
Mayor Thompson, Council Member Gandhi and Council Member Zimmerman all drew no opposition in their May 10 election, therefore the City of Sugar Land has officially cancelled the election. All three men are REALTOR®-friendly incumbents that have been supported by HAR in the past, and during this election cycle we are continuing our support to foster the mutually beneficial and respectful relationship our Fort Bend REALTORS® enjoy with Sugar Land City Council.
