Tell Us: As Mayoral Election Nears, What Changes Do You Want To See In Fort Worth?

Fort Worth’s political leadership is about to change for the first time in years.

City elections are coming up on May 1, and Betsy Price, Fort Worth’s longest-serving mayor, is not seeking reelection after a decade in office.

Two City Council members are running for Price’s job, and another is retiring, leaving another three seats open on a Council that has not changed since 2017.

Plus, the races are far more crowded than usual. Ten candidates are running for mayor alone. In a city known for its polite, nonconfrontational politics, a shakeup could be on its way.

Ahead of the election, KERA wants to hear from Fort Worth residents. What do you want to change in your community as a result of this election?

Miranda Suarez is an award-winning reporter who started at KERA News in 2020. Before joining “NTX Now,” she covered Tarrant County government, with a focus on deaths in the local jail. Her work drives discussion at local government meetings and has led to real-world change — like the closure of a West Texas private prison that violated the state’s safety standards. A Massachusetts native, Miranda got her start in journalism at WTBU, Boston University’s student radio station. She later worked at WBUR as a business desk fellow, and while reporting for Boston 25 News, she received a New England Emmy nomination for her investigation into mental‑health counseling services at Massachusetts colleges and universities.
