The candidates are locked in. And some areas of Dallas will elect a new City Council representative. Not us.
District 10 representative Jerry Allen will run uncontested. Lake Highlands with its overwhelming amounts of apartments and payday lenders isn’t an easy district to represent. Allen during his two terms has worked to improve both situations. The two are indirectly related.
Not everyone agrees with his approach to dealing with high crime, low rent, code violating apartments — which involves improving rather than destroying the homes — but no one apparently disagrees enough to fight him.
