This early margin indicates a strong endorsement from voters in the district, which includes portions of East Tyler and surrounding neighborhoods. If the trend continues, Marsh is expected to secure the seat without need for a runoff or recount.

The District 3 race was one of the few contested elections in the area, and Marsh’s apparent victory would mark a continuation of her community-focused agenda centered on economic growth, neighborhood revitalization, and public safety.

Final certified results are expected later this weekend.
