In a closely watched Irving City Council election, voters dealt a blow to casino proponents by backing anti-casino candidates in two pivotal races while sending the hotly contested Place 3 race to a runoff.
Incumbent John Bloch and newcomer Adam Muller, both vocal opponents of a proposed casino rezoning effort, won their respective contests on Saturday.
In District 1, Bloch edged out Tony Grimes with 51.75% of the vote, according to results on the City of Irving’s website. District 2 saw David Pfaff leading a crowded field with 47.31%, setting up a runoff with Sergio Porres, who trailed closely at 45.11%. In District 7, Adam Muller narrowly defeated Priscilla Vigliante by just 49 votes, earning 51.19% to her 48.81%.
