Also wonderful news from Fort Worth, Texas - FOX News:
Mattie Parker wins over Deborah Peoples in Fort Worth mayor race
Mattie Parker has defeated Deborah Peoples in Saturday’s runoff election to decide who will replace longtime Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price.
Parker won over Peoples with 54% of the vote, and will be sworn in as the mayor of Fort Worth on June 15.
This race a nonpartisan race, but there were partisan overtones.
Peoples, a former executive with AT&T and the former chair of the Tarrant County Democratic Party, has been backed by Beto O’Rourke and the Texas Democratic Party.
And the differences between the two were pretty much party-line divisions:
Peoples focused on her message, called One Forth Worth, wanting all voices to be included.
All Hail Diversity - how about something specific? No? All she had was some feel-good narrative
Parker said she wants the city to take off and not be in the shadow of Dallas anymore.
"It’s the economy, it’s the world class infrastructure, it’s education for every neighborhood, and offering growth and opportunity for all residents and cutting that red tape that is there," Parker said. "Back to working together, being consensus builders because that is the number one job as a mayor."
Specific. Promises and accountability.
Fort Worth is the 14th largest City in the USA - it deserves a strong leader.
