Dallas, TX –
Tom Leppert embarks on a new career path June 25th when he officially becomes the new mayor of Dallas. He'll do so after about 4-years in the city and little, if any, experience at City Hall. But during yesterday's post-election flurry of thank-you stops and interviews, Leppert told 90.1's Sam Baker that fresh viewpoint helped him prevail in the runoff, along with his community service and business skills he can apply at City Hall.
