League City residents will choose a council member for Position 7 on Nov. 3. The race pits incumbent Sean Saunders against community activist Teresa Potter. Both candidates responded to a short questionnaire, keeping answers under 50 words each, to give voters a clear snapshot of their priorities.
Candidate backgrounds
Sean Saunders has served on the League City City Council since 2021, representing the entire city as an at-large member. He emphasizes his experience navigating municipal budgets and his work on public‑safety initiatives.
Teresa Potter is a longtime League City resident who has volunteered with local charities and served on the neighborhood association board. She highlights her grassroots involvement and desire to bring fresh perspectives to council.
Key issues
Public safety – Saunders notes, “I will continue to support our police and fire departments with the resources they need to keep neighborhoods safe.” Potter counters, “I support community‑based policing and stronger partnerships between law enforcement and families.”
Fiscal responsibility – Saunders states, “We must maintain a balanced budget while protecting essential services.” Potter adds, “I will prioritize transparent spending and seek efficiencies that do not burden taxpayers.”
Infrastructure – Both agree that road maintenance and flood mitigation are critical. Saunders says, “I will work with the public works department to accelerate key projects.” Potter replies, “I will push for smarter, faster improvements that reflect resident input.”
Community engagement
When asked how they will stay connected to constituents, Saunders answers, “Regular town halls and open‑door office hours will keep me accountable.” Potter says, “I plan to hold monthly listening sessions and use social media to hear concerns directly from families.”
Election logistics
League City council members serve four‑year terms and may run for a second consecutive term. Position 7, like all at‑large seats, represents the whole city rather than a single precinct. Voters can cast their ballots in person at designated polling locations or via mail‑in ballot, according to the city’s election website.
What’s next?
The candidates will appear at a public forum hosted by the League City Chamber of Commerce next week, giving residents another chance to ask questions. With the election only weeks away, both Saunders and Potter are urging voters to review the candidates’ statements, attend the forum, and make an informed choice at the ballot box.
