Tarrant Councilwoman Tracie Threadford beat the one-term incumbent Mayor Wayman Newton, winning the runoff for mayor.

Some residents of Tarrant filed a petition for impeachment of Mayor Wayman Newton claiming “willful neglect of duty, corruption in office, incompetency, or intemperance in the use of intoxicating liquors or narcotics.” However, Newton said the claims were copied from another city and had nothing to do with Tarrant or his actions as mayor.

Tarrant Mayor Wayman Newton has gotten some positive news from the courts after being acquitted of two criminal charges against him.
