Live election updates: Here’s who’s leading in the Keller race for mayor

Ross McMullin is leading in the race for Keller mayor, according to early voting results.

McMullin has 57.6% of the vote, Ed Prem has 33.08% and Tag Green has 9.14%, according to unofficial results.

Mayor Armin Mizani did not seek reelection and instead is running as a Republican for the House District 98 seat, following Rep. Giovanni Capriglione’s decision not to seek reelection.

Ross McMullin, the current mayor pro tem is an attorney running on public safety, critical infrastructure and protecting taxpayer dollars with what he says is a policy driven approach to governance. McMullin was endorsed by Keller firefighters.

Former council member and real estate broker Tag Green is running for the mayor’s seat again after a failed attempt in 2020. Green ran on his experience as a council member, keeping taxes low and economic development. As Keller reaches full build-out, Green wants to grow the local economy by attracting more daytime and weekend visitors to the city.

Green’s Place 4 city council seat is up for special election since he stepped down to run for mayor.

The third candidate, Ed Prem, is a military veteran who moved to Keller about eight years ago and has prior leadership experience in the military and at the National Security Agency. Prem ran on improving infrastructure, public safety, uniting the community and fiscal responsibility.

During the race information surfaced about Green’s involvement in a lawsuit in Dallas that alleges he and his company misappropriated around $200,000.

Green addressed the controversy at a candidate forum that was held at Keller Town Hall on April 16.

“I have served this community with character integrity for over eight years, and now I recognize there are those in our city attempting to assassinate my character,” Green said at the forum.

If no candidate receives 50% of the votes, the top two candidates will have a runoff election on June 13 to determine a winner.

Keller also has three City Council seats on the ballot.
