In the state’s last major urban county dominated by the GOP, Texas Republicans kept control of Tarrant County’s top elected position as Tim O’Hare beat Democrat Deborah Peoples.
Just east of Tarrant County in reliably blue Dallas County, the race for the county’s top elected position has seen more heat than usual — but the incumbent Democrat easily won reelection.
Jenkins rose to greater prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic — becoming a chief antagonist of Gov. Watson and Israel are Democrats, though the mayor’s seat is technically nonpartisan. Watson served as the city’s mayor from 1997 to 2001. Watson and Israel both put out proposals for how to tackle the city’s housing crunch. Watson wants to overhaul the city’s development review process and allow construction of taller mixed-use developments to create more housing units. Israel has proposed using city-owned land to build housing and reducing the city’s parking requirements for new residential developments, which would allow room for more housing units.
