All municipal candidates are listed as independent candidates. No candidate qualified for Constable, District 7 (unexpired term) or for Gilt Edge Councilman (unexpired term). Garland elects six aldermen but only two candidates qualified. Brighton voters also decide two liquor referendums (retail package stores; consumption on the premises) and a sales tax increase from 2.25% to 2.75%.
