City of Kyle Announces Election Results; Details on Mayoral, City Council Runoffs

- Nov 12, 2026

KYLE, TEXAS –– Following the election on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, results indicate Melisa Medina was elected to serve City Council District 2.  

No candidate received more than 50% of the vote in the Mayoral Election or the District 4 Council Seat setting up runoff elections between Mayor Yvonne Flores-Cale and Robert Rizo for Mayor and Leah Kaufman and Kenneth Rocha for the District 4 City Council seat scheduled for December 12, 2026. 

Under Article XI, Section 11 of the Texas Constitution, municipalities with terms of office longer than two years are required to elect members of their governing body by majority vote. Because the Mayor and Kyle City Council members serve three-year terms, candidates must receive more than 50% of the vote to be elected. The City of Kyle Charter also establishes this majority-vote requirement and provides for a runoff election when no candidate receives a majority. 

Below are the citywide election results. These results will be canvassed by the Kyle City Council on Thursday, November 12 at 6 p.m. at City Council Chambers at Kyle City Hall, 100 W. Center St.  

Mayoral Election: 

  • Robert Rizo – 6,354 or 37.99% 

  • Yvonne Flores-Cale – 8,354 or 49.95% 

  • Donny Wills – 2,017 or 12.06% 

District 2: 

  • Melisa Medina – 2,870 or 56.4% 

  • Miguel Zuniga – 2,219 or 43.6% 

District 4: 

  • Leah Kaufman – 2,728 or 47.01%  

  • Spencer Copeland – 1,476 or 25.44% 

  • Kenneth Rocha – 1,599 or 27.55% 

City of Kyle voters will have early and day-of voting opportunities in the runoff election, to be called for at the November 17, 2026 regular City Council Meeting. The preliminary details of the runoff are listed below but will not be official until called by Kyle City Council.
