With 52 of 56 precincts reporting, challenger Scott Griggs leads incumbent Dave Neumann in the District 3 Dallas City Council race.
Griggs, endorsed by both Stonewall Democrats and the Dallas Gay and Lesbian Alliance, appears well on his way to pulling off a rare upset of an incumbent.
With only four precincts left to be counted, Griggs has 57 percent of the vote to Neumann’s 43 percent. This one’s over.
I live in Austin, but I grew up in Dallas. I met Scott when he was at law school at UT in 1999. The voters who elected him will be pleasantly surprised to learn that he is a man of his word, a workaholic, and very, very talented and smart, razor-sharp, in fact (I met him playing chess at a coffee shop here). District 3 is luckier than they know!
Dear Mr. Neumann, I’m sorry I did not vote for you as I have been a long time supporter, Here’s why. The Oak Cliff Manor, putting not one, but two signs in my yard when told not to, and insisting to agree to fracking which I did warn you about in a letter. You have let many in the Oak Cliff area down, and that’s why I didn’t vote for you!
Shelia,
I doubt Nuemann will read your comment below an article in the Voice or DMN online sites. A more effective way to communicate your comment to him, or anyone else including Griggs, is to communicate directly.
