Corina Zepeda has officially joined the Hutto City Council after securing 54.8% of the vote in the recent election held on May 2. Zepeda, who has been a part of the Hutto community since 2015, replaces Peter Gordon, who was term-limited after serving three terms as allowed by the city charter.
Zepeda’s Vision for Hutto
With a background in workforce development and higher education, Zepeda brings a wealth of experience to her new role. In an interview with Community Impact, she outlined her top priorities for her term on the council. These include responsible infrastructure planning, ensuring water affordability, and strengthening Hutto’s economic base. She also emphasized the importance of clear communication, transparency, and collaboration within the community.
As Hutto continues to grow, Zepeda’s focus on infrastructure and economic development will be crucial in managing the city’s expansion while maintaining its unique character and community values.
Upcoming Runoff Election
While Zepeda’s election is settled, the race for Place 1 on the council is headed to a runoff. Candidates Jerrel W. Reynolds and Brandy McCool will face off after neither secured a majority vote in the initial election. This upcoming election will further shape the future of Hutto’s local government and its approach to addressing community needs.
