Posted

Doyle Moss has filed for re-election as the mayor of Willow Park, a position he has held for eight years. He will also have some competition for the job as Teresa Palmer has also filed to run for the position.

“Today I filed paperwork to officially run for reelection for Mayor of our great city, Willow Park,” Moss posted on his Facebook page. “ Along with a great city council and staff, we have worked to make Willow Park better for our citizens.”

Palmer, a 30-year-resident of the city, likewise made her announcement Thursday via Facebook, posting “Good Morning, Willow Park! Today begins with a special announcement for the community!”

Moss was first elected in 2017, his first time to hold elected office. The last time he faced a challenger was 2019..   

Also filing for re-election this past week was Chawn Gilliland to retain his seat in Place 2 on the council. Gilliland joined the council in June of 2022 to finish the term of Tyler VanSant, who was called into active Air Force Duty, and won his own election to the office unopposed in 2023.

Place 1, held by Eric Contreras, is also on the ballot in the May 3 election. As of press time, Contreras had not filed for re-election.

Contreras was appointed to the council in 2018, winning re-election unopposed in 2019, 2021 and 2023.
