Baytown mayoral race widens with Liggett and Ptacek
The 1963 Baytown mayoral contest expanded to three candidates as Dr. C. Lee Liggett joins perennial candidate C. Dutch Ptacek. Backed by potential supporters, Liggett faces ballot access concerns for Ptacek tied to a past city dispute over an unpaid obligation. Ptacek’s candidacy may be ruled illegal by a charter provision, while Liggett is a Baytown resident since completing a gyne residency years ago.
