If there were ever a time to run for McKinney City Council, this year might be it. The sheer number of candidates says as much - particularly for the District 4 race.
Seven candidates have filed for the seat, the most of the three races: Angie Bado, Chuck Branch, Robert DeMarco, Ty Lake, Pablo Ruiz,Steven Spainhouerand David Weaver. The winner will replace incumbent Councilman Ray Ricchi, who has reached his term limit after seven years on the council. Ricchi was elected in 2008 and re-elected in 2011.
District 4 covers much of western McKinney, north of Eldorado Parkway and mostly west of Ridge Road to the city's western edge. It spans north of U.S. Highway 380 into the northwest sector, primed for tremendous growth in coming years.

Aurora police, feds announce more than 100 arrests in 2-week sting operation
AURORA | A smattering of officials from across the strata of government on Wednesday announced the conclusion of a two-week sting operation that resulted in the arrest of more than 100 people tied to a bevy of violent crimes in Aurora.
Investigators with the Aurora Police Department, the U.S. Marhsals Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration and several other agencies arrested 104 people between July 26 and Aug. 6 in a probe dubbed "operation restore," according to information by Aurora Police. More than a dozen other people targeted in the inquest were apprehended shortly before or after the two-week span, bringing the total number of arrestees to 117.
Authorities began assembling the sting in April by thumbing through the most egregious and open felony warrants with Aurora ties, identifying people wanted on suspicion of crimes like murder, aggravated assault and sex assault on a child, according to Aurora Police Division Chief Terry Brown.
At least three of the investigations culminated in arrests out of state, including in Los Angeles and Chicago.
Police Chief Vanessa Wilson cited rising crime rates across the metroplex when explaining why the operation was initiated this summer.
"I think we've seen across the nation, startling headlines about the increase in violent crimes," she said. "And we knew something needed to be done."
Crime in Aurora was up about 30% in the first six months of 2021 when compared to the same time last year, according to Aurora police statistics. When stripping out burglary, larceny and car theft - the latter of which is up some 90% in the city year over year - violent crimes like assault, robbery and murder are up 22.3% through the end of June.
All told, a combination of some 70 police personnel and 40 U.S. Marshals nabbed two people wanted for murder, five people wanted for attempted murder, a dozen people wanted for aggravated robbery, another dozen wanted for felonies related to domestic violence and nine people wanted for sex crimes with underage victims, according to Brown.
"Hopefully the citizens of Aurora can sleep a little bit better knowing that these people are off the streets, especially our children," said U.S. Marshal David Weaver. "These perpetrators are out there causing great, great harm to them."
About a quarter of the arrests stemmed from drug charges, and half of the accused had previously been charged with crimes related to narcotics, according to DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge David Olesky. At least one drug trafficker accused of pushing thousands of opioid pills laced with fentanyl into the international market was also taken into custody, Olesky said.
Officials also seized nine guns and three stolen cars.
