Six districts held runoff elections for Dallas City Council on June 5, 2021. Three races were for open seats, and three were between an incumbent and a challenger. All fourteen seats were up for election this year.
In Districts 2, 11, and 13, incumbent councilmembers Adam Medrano, Lee Kleinman, and Jennifer Staubach Gates did not run for re-election due to term limits.[1][2][3] In District 2, Jesse Moreno defeated Sana Syed 58% to 43%. In District 11, Jaynie Schultz defeated Barry Wernick 54% to 46%. In District 13, Gay Donnell Willis defeated Leland Burk 54% to 47%.
Three races with incumbents advanced to a runoff. In District 4, incumbent Carolyn King Arnold defeated Maxie Johnson 55% to 45%. In District 7, incumbent Adam Bazaldua defeated Kevin Felder 64% to 36%. In District 14, Paul Ridley defeated incumbent David Blewett 61% to 39%.
Writing for D Magazine, Alex Macon said: “If there is one issue driving Dallas City Council candidates this election season, it’s public safety.”[4] An increase in violent crime brought attention to the issue. Between 2019 and 2020, Dallas saw a 27% increase in aggravated assaults and a 23% increase in murders.[5] Additionally, following protests in response to the death of George Floyd, the council faced calls to reallocate some police department funding to other areas. In September 2020, the council voted to increase the police department’s budget to $24 million. In this budget, the council reallocated $7 million from police overtime funding to hire more civilian workers in the department, increase street lighting, and invest in other programs to address crime.[6]
The Dallas City Council is the city's primary legislative body. It is responsible for setting policy, approving the budget, determining the tax rate, issuing and selling municipal bonds, purchasing and selling city property, establishing city departments, holding public meetings, approving city ordinances, determining city services, and appointing the city manager, city attorney, city auditor, city secretary, and municipal court judges.[7]
The city council consists of 14 members elected by district, and one mayor elected at large.[7]
All fourteen seats on the Dallas City Council are up for election every two years.

Jesse Moreno

Moreno’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
My No. 1 priority will be working to improve the quality of life in district 2 and build on the progress we have made. I will ensure we have accountability in our city government and across city departments, and I have a known record of being accessible and transparent in achieving that. District 2 is only as strong as its neighborhoods. This means letting neighbors determine the future of the places they live. As it evolves and progresses, it’s important that we stand up for residents and make sure everyone in Dallas has a safe place to live. My priorities include:

Sana Syed
Campaign website
Syed’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
“My priorities are economic revitalization, exploring a trauma-informed public safety model, and addressing equity in education and housing.”
We have an opportunity to create more programs to retain officers, to expand the RightCare program and to focus police training on retraumatization of individuals and addressing secondary trauma within the police department. There is a compounding effect on residents who have endured chronic trauma and encounter police and there are compounding secondary trauma effects within the police department that must be addressed. Training focused on this also helps officers identify trauma symptoms and will allow officers to better triage cases, as resources expand and become more available for mental/behavioral health. We missed an opportunity last year to build bridges with the Black and minority communities and strengthen the police department. There is a trauma informed policing model that has been employed at some police departments in the United States - this model could find a home here in Dallas as well. The trauma informed model addresses the re-traumatization of individuals, particularly youth, and addresses secondary trauma among police. This model can be expanded to also address secondary trauma among fire fighters and paramedics. Within this model, we are seeing people as people, without titles, and can then begin to have a conversation around racial healing when we acknowledge and address trauma and the criminalization of youth, which predominantly affects the Black community. If we can holistically address crime, mental/behavioral health and substance abuse, we are helping our police focus on where they are needed most – addressing crime. And expanding training on trauma and working with hospitals and mental health partners will provide police and the city with critical resources to actualize change in how we address crime in our community.
We have planned for cars, not people. Changing that will take years and must be done with a sense of urgency. I’m encouraged by D2, but am concerned about the timeline and money spent on this. There must be clear milestones for achievement to ensure we are being mindful on dollars spent and delivering on this within a shorter time frame. Our streets are horrible – there’s no denying this. I, like anyone who drives in Dallas, often cringe when I hit pothole after pothole. Some of our neighborhoods don’t even have sidewalks – some that do have breaks and buckles that make it unappealing to use. I’d like to see a more substantive plan for addressing sidewalks in our city. The effort to achieve more walkability is there, but we must include key target dates. We can provide more opportunities/feeders for runners and cyclists to get to our parks and trails safely. And I applaud DART board members efforts to focus the buses on where the people are. The care and intention is there.
We need to employ a thoughtful approach to homelessness to address the issue and protects our neighborhoods. Instead of the city attempting to lead the way in addressing homelessness with large budgets for administrators, that money would be better spent as grants and resources to non-profits such as City Square, The Bridge and Austin Street Shelter. Then investing in innovative solutions to shorten the permitting process so that affordable housing developers are incentivized to develop more affordable housing within the city and we can address the homeless crisis with shelter, food and mental health.
Many of our local small business have been devastated by the restrictions to combat the pandemic. As more and more people become vaccinated, and we safely open up our economy the City needs to do more to help these businesses, who provide the bulk k of the jobs in our community recover. In addition, we need greater collaboration with the business community and the Small Business Administration to enhance workforce development. Programs focused on job interview training, job placement, entrepreneurial success help create a structured process and resources for those who have lost their jobs or had to close their businesses [25] |

District 11
Jaynie Schultz
Campaign website
Schultz’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
To protect our neighborhoods, property values and those who truly need help- we must take action. We must first understand that many panhandlers are not homeless, and addressing this issue takes a multi prong approach. Giving money to panhandlers, most of whom are NOT homeless, only exacerbates the problem. I’ve started working with local non-profits who serve the homeless community toward a solution to help those truly in need while discouraging the panhandlers who prey on our neighborly charity. We can show compassion to the truly needy while cracking down on those who prey on the charity of our citizens.
Building strong neighborhoods are critical for our future. While serving on City Planning Commission for 6+ years, I made sure our neighborhoods had a strong voice when it came to zoning issues. This is one reason we never had a contentious zoning battle- because our neighborhood’s concerns were heard and addressed. I secured improvements from developers that added amenities to the neighborhoods while strengthening the economic base of our district. Such as enhanced landscaping at Costco, neighborhood patrols in the Churchill area and parks in Preston Hollow Village. The key to strong neighborhoods is to have good communication. I regularly speak with every neighborhood and HOA leaders to hear about your issues. I have a plan to strengthen neighborhood associations and leadership and ensure they have a voice on the decision that impact their quality of life. As your councilmember, I’ll significantly invest my time to enhance communication with residents via social media, text messages and regular e-newsletters. The recent winter storm only highlights how imperative it is we are able to communicate quickly and with clarity to residents. My goal is to empower everyone to have a voice on the issues that impact your quality of life.
I will work closely with our first responders to ensure they have the tools and training they need to keep families safe and lower crime rates. I will foster cooperation between Dallas Police, DISD, RISD, and our neighborhood associations to build trust and transparent communication to fight crime. And we can do better on the little things. For instance, it’s proven that proper street lighting deters property crime. It’s a simple, yet effective tool we can deploy now.
To ensure we can offer great city services, while lessening the tax burden on homeowners we must grow the commercial tax base. This is one reason I have dedicated so much time toward the Preston Hollow Village project that brought desirable amenities like Trader Joe’s. As your next council member, I’ll make sure the Galleria/ Valley View development will be something we will all be proud of.
Many neighborhoods have streets and alleys in need of repair. I have reached out to city staff to find out the master repair schedule for both streets and alleys. Much of the problem with alleys is the sanitation trucks used by the city. I am working on ideas with staff and neighborhood residents to pilot some alternative measures for sanitation that would enable the city to repair alleys much more efficiently. [25] |

Wernick’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Prioritize public safety ensuring the police and fire departments have the resources they need to keep Dallas safe.
Repair Dallas' existing infrastructure to meet its growing service needs and demands.
Fight against rising property taxes while cutting wasteful spending.
Address the growing situation of homelessness and panhandling by getting people off the streets and back on their feet.
Boost the economy by enticing people and businesses to move back to a city, not divided by districts, but united by the common goal for a safe and strong Dallas. [25] |

Leland Burk
Campaign website
Burk’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
A strong fiscal conservative, Leland will bring a taxpayer’s perspective to City Hall. He’ll hold the line on taxes and focus our budget on basic services that impact our quality of life. And, he’ll fight against wasteful spending and look for smart ways to get taxpayers more for their tax dollars.
A strong ally of our police who’s served as a volunteer leader for Safer Dallas Better Dallas, Leland will be an outspoken advocate for public safety. He’ll lead to fully fund police and look for ways to invest in innovative, research-backed community-based policing strategies that keep us safe and address root causes of crime.
Leland understands that great basic services elevate our everyday quality of life and serve our citizens, and they also attract quality growth. As our councilmember, Leland will make focusing on basics a priority, leading for investment in public safety, streets, alleys, parks and greenspaces that impact our daily quality of life.
With experience shepherding his own real estate and finance businesses through difficult economies, Leland has a keen understanding of our economy and how to promote growth. As our councilmember, he’ll use his experience to guide us through challenging budgets, while protecting key services that will enhance our quality of life and help attract new opportunities to Dallas.
An engaged civic and non-profit leader who’s led and served on several boards that impact our community and our city, Leland believes that collaboration and consensus are not only keys to strong leadership, but they are also critical to building confidence and trust with taxpayers and citizens. As our councilmember, he will work to create strong lines of communication, build consensus, and be a leader for smart policy on Council. [25] |

Gay Donnell Willis
Campaign website
Willis' campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Even in a bustling city like Dallas, residents want peace-of-mind when it comes to their everyday life. After all, at the end of the day, we return to the core of our lives, our family, our homes, and our neighborhoods—and it should be safe and clean, and our City a place to be proud of. That’s why I start with… Neighborhoods First!
Public safety and security is the cornerstone of our quality of life. I helped launch the Schreiber Extended Patrol in 2019, and value the service of those who protect us. Building our police and fire departments to where they should be and giving them the tools and training to keep us all safe is my top priority. Keeping officer pay in line with suburban counterparts, ensuring timely roll out of staffing recommendations to get more sworn officers into the community, and community policing practices that reduce violent crime are practices I’ll fight for.
Streets, alleys, and sidewalks that meet the expectation of what you and I as taxpayers deserve—and I have the follow-through to make it happen. Our 2017 bond rollout for these improvements had fallen behind even before COVID-19. I’ll keep my foot on the gas to get these enhancements on track. There are inequities that exist from street-to-street and neighborhood-to-neighborhood in our district, and I am already gauging how to sensibly resolve this.
Growing our tax base by accelerating the overdue improvements needed to unclog our commercial and residential permitting processes is a top issue for me. I will work tenaciously to resolve the backlog and technology issues that hamper smart development. Slowing down Dallas’ entrepreneurial spirit deprives us all of revenue generation that funds city programs and services we want and need. It is not how the 9th largest city in America should operate, and I will absolutely focus on resolving these critical needs.
Smart development that looks beyond property boundaries to know the impact of a project on those who live around it, and factors in the needs of our city with regard to landscape, mobility and our overall environment is development I can support. Neighbors want to be heard, and should be heard—with timely notifications of when and where they can share their perspective. I will champion communications between neighbors, the city and developers to ensure smart progress.
Liveable cities support the quality of life of its’ citizens. I am dedicated to improving and expanding our parks and urban spaces, transportation networks including DART rail and buses, but also bike and walking trails, and equitable access to recreational, cultural, and community facilities. As a Friends of the Dallas Public Library Board member, I saw first-hand the critical role libraries play in so many lives. I am committed to these goals and will continue to improve the quality of life for all our citizens.
Besides the humanity of this issue, the resources required to address it are staggering. Collaboration to solve this concern requires representation from health and mental health, housing, education, workforce, and law enforcement. As a volunteer counselor at Interfaith Housing Coalition, I worked with single parents transitioning to stable employment and housing from homelessness. Through my appointment by Council member Gates to the Community Development Commission, I have seen how the HUD grants the city receives can assist in securing housing for low to moderate-income citizens. I support the work of the Continuum of Care Council of non-profits and will work to ensure meaningful collaboration with the City’s Office of Homeless Solutions.
Our community has shown great fortitude and came together during the COVID pandemic and the bitter cold snowstorm. Neighbors drove elderly neighbors to get their shots or went to the store to get critical supplies of food and water. That’s what a great community does! But our city and county governments need to be equally prepared and they could have done a better job. I will work with my fellow council members to review and update emergency preparedness for the new kinds of disasters we may face, so we can take immediate action in a crisis. [25] |

About the city
- See also: Dallas, Texas
Dallas is a city in Texas and the seat of Dallas County. As of 2020, its population was 1,304,379.
City government
- See also: Council-manager government
The city of Dallas uses a council-manager system. In this form of municipal government, an elected city council—which includes the mayor and serves as the city's primary legislative body—appoints a chief executive called a city manager to oversee day-to-day municipal operations and implement the council's policy and legislative initiatives.
Most cities in the United States with populations over 1 million use a strong mayor system, in which the mayor—instead of a city manager—serves as the city's chief executive. In 2005, a measure was placed on the ballot in Dallas that would have removed the office of the city manager and increased mayoral powers. Sixty-two percent of Dallas voters, however, disapproved of the proposal. As a result, the city retained its council-manager system.[33]
