Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- Federal/state candidates from the Texas SOS Election Results site for the 2026 November General Election (results.html, '(Updated 10/14/2026 07:34 AM)'); incumbents marked (I). robots.txt 404 (no rules); no terms page linked. goelect and house.texas.gov not touched. Write-ins (e.g. U.S. Senate write-ins) skipped. Names title-cased; ballotName keeps the printed form.
- Districts: Census geocoder (robots 404) at city hall (31.1171, -97.7278): Bell County, CD-31, SD-24, HD-54. A 0.03-degree grid over the city: every Killeen point in CD-31 and SD-24; HD-54 (north/west) and HD-55 (south/east) both cover parts of the city. Coordinates only; no street address stored.
- U.S. Senators from rws.capitol.texas.gov/api/GetSenators (robots 404; prints no party - Republican as in earlier Texas records). John Carter (R, Texas 31st) from house.gov/representatives (robots allows). Pete Flores ('Party: Republican') from senate.texas.gov/member.php?d=24 (robots allows /member.php); photo linked. Brad Buckley from TLO MemberInfo (89th Leg., Code A3585; capitol.texas.gov robots allows /Members/); TLO prints no party; Republican from the SOS listing. Governor Abbott from the SOS listing ((I)).
- Municipal: killeentexas.gov robots.txt names ClaudeBot in a group with only the site's ordinary admin/search/calendar disallows (no 'Disallow: /'); the * group's Crawl-delay 10 was honoured. Its 'Copyright Notices' page is empty (no terms stated). Slip to record: the City Council page was fetched before the copyright page was opened; the copyright page was read before any content was used. Council page lists Mayor Joseph Solomon, Mayor Pro Tem Jessica Gonzalez (D1), Charles F. Kimble (D2), David Bass (D3), Anthony Kendrick (D4) and At-Large Debbie Nash-King, Mellisa Brown, Beverly Ann Williams; official city emails kept, phones omitted.
- Bell County Elections (bellcountytx.com) robots.txt is 'User-agent: * Disallow: /' (only Google/Bing/Facebook/LinkedIn/Twitter allowed), so Bell County sample ballots were NOT fetched; running rows rest on the SOS listing alone.
- Next municipal election: the council page says terms run to 'November 2027' and the city's 2026 Charter Election Voter Guide says Council in December 2025 moved regular elections to the November uniform date starting in 2027; Proposition A on the 3 Nov 2026 ballot amends the Charter to match. Next regular city election: November 2027 (all mayor and council seats). Charter propositions from killeentexas.gov/732 and the Voter Guide (DocumentCenter/View/14470).
- County offices are out of scope; no rows. No standsFor entries: no candidate's own statement was read this run.
