Plano City Council Place 7:
Pro-taxpayer choice and Gov. Greg Abbott-endorsed Lily Bao had a huge victory in the first round over mayor-favorite Ann Bacchus. Bacchus repeated an only slightly improved performance compared to her loss back in 2017 against pro-taxpayer choice Anthony Ricciardelli. Bao and Bacchus will be heading to a runoff. Bacchus has taken a large amount of donations from out-of-city developers through the We Love Plano PAC. Bacchus donors will need to decide if they want to cut their losses on this race or double down on what looks like a shaky candidate. Bacchus was the worst performer of Plano Mayor Harry LaRosiliere’s pro-developer slate, pulling in the lowest amount of total votes.
