FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Mattie Parker declared victory Saturday as the next mayor of Fort Worth, Texas, keeping it one of America's biggest cities with a GOP mayor.

The 37-year-old Parker was in a runoff with Deborah Peoples, a former Democratic county chairwoman who would have been the city’s first Black mayor. Peoples conceded defeat as Parker had more than 53% of the vote with ballots still being counted

I am surprised at the result, I thought this race would be much closer.

Also, I should have stated that Texas election laws really try to prevent fraud.

No wonder the State Rats are so desperate to prevent further strengthening of Texas election laws. Without fraud and suburban voters, the Rats are consistently a 47-48% minority party.

It looks like Democrats flipped the City Council in their favor.

While down in Leander (Williamson County), which voted Trump 9% over Hillary in 2016 but lost to Biden in 2020, the runoff yesterday for two city council seats completed the sweep of the major and four city council seats to the more left-leaning of the available candidates. All women. Turnout was 11% in the general; 9.5% in the runoff.

Texas will fall and soon.

True, better than most. But the fraudsters still get in their game. There is no way Biden won Tarrant County.

It looks like Democrats flipped the City Council in their favor.

Democrat or not, the Council has been majority hard left for at least a decade. I was there in 2009 when it voted in its “gender identity” mandates ordinance by a comfortable margin, acquiescing to a bunch of screeching cross-dressers in attendance. It was a circus, but the council went along with them.

I work in Fort Worth, but live in Johnson county for a reason.

37 yo. Easy on the eyes. Those things count.

Williamson County.....unfortunately where most of the Kaliforniafication is taking place, in TX.

That’s where they start their takeover/s.....in City Council seats.

Hope the grass roots conservatives, there, wake up and warn and organize the good people, sooner, rather than later.

[Jane Long]

That’s where they start....City Council. :-/
