New mayor, council members take seats in Seguin By Darren Dunn
(Seguin) -- It was the end of the line for outgoing members of the Seguin City Council as new members were officially sworn into office. New Mayor Donna Dodgen, returning Councilman Chris Rangel, and three newcomers -- Sonia Mendez, Monica Napier Carter and Joe Rea were all sworn-in during Tuesday night’s council meeting. Before the newly elected officials took their seats, outgoing members each took time to thank the community for the opportunity to serve. Mayor Don Keil and council members Jet Crabb, Ernest Leal, and Fonda Mathis were all unable to seek reelection due to the city’s term limits. Councilwoman Crabb says it’s been a great ride, and she’s thankful for the opportunity to serve. “I would just like to say thank you for the privilege of serving on the council. It has been a wonderful experience and I want to thank the city staff for being so fantastic. They have taught me more about sewers and wastewater, more than I ever wanted to know but it’s very interesting and I also want to address something to Donny. Some of ya’ll may not have remembered but when we had our first council meeting eight years ago, Donny looked out, he saw Fonda Mathis. He saw me and he saw Donna Dodgen and he said, ‘just what I need, three more wives.’ So, I just want to tell Marty, we are letting him go tonight. He is all yours!” said Crabb.
