Wichita Falls City Councilman Stephen Santellana is running to be Wichita Falls Mayor. He announced his candidacy Friday morning.

Santellana is currently the District 1 Councilor. He is a graduate of MSU, a local business owner, and has served on many boards.

He says he is proud of this community and wants to continue the successful leadership of Mayor Glenn Barham.

“If I am able to become mayor and term limit out, I can’t tell anybody here that I am going to change the city overnight. I’m not. But I’m going to point the ship in the right direction. I want to hand it to the next guy and tell that next guy to hang on to this steering wheel and keep pointing in the right direction,” said Santellana.

The election is this November. Mayor Barham can’t run again because of term limits.
