Watts, a former mayor and city council member, secured 50.15% of the vote, while Beck, a professor and current council member, trailed closely at 49.85%. The race followed a May election where neither candidate reached the 50% threshold, sending them to this decisive showdown. With Gerard Hudspeth stepping down after two terms, the winner will inherit a city grappling with rapid growth and development — and the outcome remains one of North Texas’s most closely watched developments.
