Early voting results for two Webb County races in runoff elections

WEBB COUNTY, Tex. (KGNS) - Early voting results are in for the primary runoff elections in Webb County.

According to early voting results, incumbent Martin Cuellar leads with 58% of the votes.

Early voting results released by the Webb County Elections Office, show that Cuellar received 5,471 votes. Meanwhile, Wayo Ruiz received 4,037 votes making up 42%.

Cuellar has been in office for 15 years and said he still has plenty of projects and goals for the sheriff’s office.

Ruiz has 26 years of experience as a peace officer and campaigns on a platform of change arguing that the sheriff’s office needs fresh new ideas.

Rolando “Role” San Miguel is leading early voting for the Webb County Constable Precinct 4 race, with 59% of the vote, totaling 2,378 early votes. His opponent, Tina Guerra, received 1,673 early votes, making up 41% of the total.

The office, previously held by Harold Devally since 2012, became vacant in 2023 after Devally announced his bid for Webb County Sheriff.

During the March Primary Election, Guerra and San Miguel received more votes than Ponce Trevino, but neither secured more than 50% of the votes, leading to a runoff.

Both candidates have law enforcement experience and aim to bring new ideas to the Webb County Constable Precinct 4 office.

Final numbers for early voting are expected to be released later tonight.
