Fort Worth Politics

Jeanette Martinez and Rick Herring will face off for a second time on June 10 to determine the winner of the race for the newly created District 11 in Fort Worth.

The three big-city mayors faced little opposition in their re-election bids.

Campaign finance reports filed by April 6 reveal which candidates secured the backing of wealthy donors. Many donors remain supportive of Fort Worth’s incumbent council members, two years after they first secured their place in public office.

How much the move will save the district is unknown because some employees may stay with the district in new positions, Ramsey has previously said.

The Fort Worth Report will hold its own forums Wednesday and Thursday this week.
