Current Mayor Tom Reid, 95, is not seeking re-election after serving on Pearland City Council more than 30 years, opening the door for a new candidate for the first time in decades.
Wiltz ran in 2017 against Reid and lost in a tight runoff election.
Cole previously served on City Council and the Pearland Planning and Zoning Commission, as well as being a member of the Pearland Chamber of Commerce.
