Dallas, Fort Worth and Irving all got new mayors in their runoffs
"North Texas' two biggest cities have new leaders, and a longtime incumbent in a third major city lost his bid for a third term after runoff elections on Saturday."

Herb Gears was really a tool in Irving. I'm glad to see him go.
While Irving was honored as a Texas City of Excellence this year,
Hizzoner was proud to receive awards for deporting all the illegals from the city's jails.
Best record in the country.
"Yee Haw" as foreign policy is still alive and well in Texas.

4. I'm just a tad upset that the guy I voted for in the Arlington City Council race didn't win

Chris Hightower lost to Lana Wolff. I don't like Lana Wolff at all. Chris Hightower lost by 74 votes. Hopefully in 2 years Lana will be knocked out of office.

Lana's endorsement from the Arlington PD calling Chris a "sex pervert" was the most disgusting thing I've seen. It came in my mail today. Also on Chris' facebook I saw people saying they were getting these disgusting robo-calls Saturday. The fact that Lana stood by while this went on makes me dislike her even more.

"One of the calls, recorded by a Hightower supporter, was made by a man identifying himself as Joe Barnett, who called Hightower “a convicted sex pervert,” a “sex creep,” and “this weirdo.”

The caller also warned voters that they needed to “protect our children and our grandchildren from sex perverts running around our neighborhoods.”

The call ended with Barnett encouraging residents to “vote for a Wolff, not a pervert.”"
