@BudKennedy@startelegram@carlosfloresfw Oh no, you spelled Jen Sarduy wrong 😏😎🤩. Thanks for your time interviewing, we may have different ideas about what Fort Worth needs but strong, independent, brave journalism is critical to all versions of a future for Fort Worth.
In 1st Fort Worth endorsements, the @StarTelegram Editorial Board backs Michael Crain in the west-southwest council seat replacing Byrd, and incumbent @CarlosFloresFW in north FW. Arlington recs: Ross for mayor, Boxall, Hunter, Odom-Wesley, Piel. See here star-telegram.com/opinion/editor…
Just gave my blood to someone I don’t know and powering up with my fave sports drink (fr tho - please give if you can!!) thank you for the reminder @BazingaJen
I have spent basically the entire day copying responses into our CMS and formatting them for our voters guide (we are not editing them).
It's great to see such civic engagement that like five and half dozen people are running for Fort Worth Council/TRWD, but also good lord y'all.
@BudKennedy@startelegram@carlosfloresfw People who enjoy gambling will find ways to gamble whether we legalize it or not. Our future & safety requires deep thinking and true collaboration🖤
@BudKennedy@startelegram@carlosfloresfw What I said was that people need places to practice their hobbies and when we don’t give them places to practice their hobbies they will do it anyway. So if we want to make decisions about gambling we need to also consider game rooms and how our community feels about them.
Asked at a Republican club about her husband lobbying for casino gambling, @MattieforMayor Parker said "The mayor of Fort Worth has nothing to do with that bill. ... It's allowing Texas voters to decide, which I for one think is the right thing to do." #dfwelex

Can you imagine the coordinated costume parades, and breakouts, and scavenger hunts and easter eggs? I feel like cancelling instead of making it virtual is such a missed opportunity to raise the bar nationwide for virtual events. 😢
