Today (Thursday) marked the start of a new era for the Brenham City Council.

New faces fill the seats of three city council positions, and all three newcomers were sworn in at today’s council meeting after winning last week’s election: Shannan Canales, Leah Cook, and Atwood Kenjura.

Canales takes the Ward 1 council seat of Keith Herring, who had been on the council since 2004.  Cook and Kenjura fill the respective At-Large Position 6 and Ward 3 seats of Susan Cantey and Andrew Ebel, neither of whom sought re-election.  Cantey began her time on the council in 2017, while Ebel served from 1992 through 2004 and was re-elected in 2007.

Also sworn in today was returning At-Large Position 5 councilmember Clint Kolby, who has served on the council since being appointed after a special election in 2018.  Kolby will now also serve as Mayor Pro Tem after the council chose to elect him for the role.  Canales made a motion to elect Kenjura as Mayor Pro Tem, but the motion died for lack of a second.
