Dallas Mayor's Race Goes To A Runoff With Eric Johnson, Scott Griggs
The race for Dallas mayor isn’t over yet. Democratic State Rep. Eric Johnson will face Dallas City Council member Scott Griggs in a June 8 runoff.
The two got the most votes out of a crowded field of nine candidates.
Up until Saturday night’s election results, there had been no clear front-runner, although Johnson was among the biggest fundraisers as he split his time legislating during the session in Austin and campaigning in Dallas.
With nine candidates in the mayor’s race, a runoff was almost guaranteed.
Johnson got about 20% of the vote, the most of any mayoral candidate.
