Weatherford council certifies May 2 election results; newly elected members sworn in
Summary
The council canvassed the official results of the May 2, 2026 general election, approved the canvass by motion and administered oaths of office to newly elected council members, including Rod White and Mayor Pro Tem Zach Smith.
City Secretary Andrea McDonald presented the official results of Weatherford’s May 2, 2026, general election and the council approved the canvass without discussion.
“Candidate Heidi Wilder received 299 votes or 43.65%,” Andrea McDonald said, and she reported that Rodney V. White received 386 votes, or 56.35%. The council accepted the canvassing materials by motion, and the item passed.
After the canvass, the council administered oaths of office. Mayor Pro Tem Zach Smith was sworn in by his wife, Britney Smith; Rodney (Rod) White was sworn in by his father, Morris White. The council noted certificates of election and family photo opportunities following the swearing-in.
The canvass item was presented as resolution R2026-07; Heidi Wilder moved to accept the canvass and Matt Tiscus seconded. The council recorded the vote via the chamber’s touchscreen system and the mayor announced that the item passed; a roll-call tally was not specified in the meeting record.
The council recessed briefly after the oaths and then continued with the rest of the evening’s agenda.
