I am excited to kick off the holiday season in Dallas at our annual Deck the Plaza event. Nikki, William, George, and the SMU Football team joined me to flip the switch to light our City Hall tree. 🎄
Not often in life do you get to return to the exact place where you started something really important. Or to say thank you to the person who made it all possible. Today, 25 years later, I got to do just that. Thank you mama and thank you @Harvard. We did it! 🙌🏾
It was a pleasure to welcome the Indian Ambassador to the United States, Harsh V Shringla, to the City of Dallas. We discussed strengthening India’s presence in our city. I am proud that North Texas is home to the state’s largest Indian population!

Growing up in Dallas, it was the sight of these red kettles that signaled to me the holiday season had begun. I was honored to make the first donation of this year’s Salvation Army red kettle campaign. Let’s make this year’s campaign, my first as Dallas mayor, the most successful one yet!
I’ve never even been inside the cockpit of a commercial jet. My 2 year old has. Having the boys has really given me insight into all of the things to which I, and other kids who grew up poor, were simply never exposed. I’m trying to change that for all of the kids in Dallas.👇🏾💪🏾

Spent the start of #Halloween2019 in the Dallas Arts District with my wife, Nikki, and my youngest son, George. Wishing everyone in Dallas a safe and happy Halloween!
I’m so overcome with emotion. @YMCADallas surprised me by having my mom introduce me at today’s event. If you only knew what my mom had to overcome to be on stage today and what the @ymca has meant to her and my entire family, you’d be overcome as well. God is great!

The City of Dallas is currently assessing the damages as a result of a storm with a radar-confirmed tornado that came through the Dallas area Sunday, October 20, at approximately 9.p.m. At this time, there are no reports of fatalities or serious injuries.
The Dallas Police Department and Dallas Fire-Rescue are assessing damaged structures and will continue to do so throughout the night.
Currently, there are approximately 35 traffic signals with no communication and crews are responding for repairs. Residents should call 3-1-1 to report downed traffic lights.
Residents are encouraged to stay indoors if they are in an area with storm damage due to downed trees, power lines and debris.
There are reports of gas leaks north of Walnut Hill. If residents smell natural gas or suspect a natural gas leak, leave the area immediately and from a safe distance, call 9-1-1 and the Atmos Energy 24/7 emergency line at 866-322-8667.
According to Oncor, there are approximately 65,000 customers in Dallas experiencing a service interruption due to this storm. The City is preparing to open Bachman Recreation Center at 2 a.m. for people seeking shelter.
The City has activated its Emergency Operating Center and will continue to monitor the second round of storms that will come through the area early Monday morning. An update will be provided as additional information becomes available.
Some living Texas legends at Dallas City Hall today. Always good to be with @RepEBJ and Rep. Senfronia Thompson! #TxLege #TxLegeAlumni

Our first overnight camping trip together. William just roasted his first marshmallow: charred on the outside and gooey on the inside. Perfect! He’s so happy and so am I.
No college football today. No official duties today. Just dad today. And I’m SO HAPPY! My favorite Cub Scout is keeping me fully entertained, too!😂 Thanks, @boyscoutsofamerica, for all you do for our youth.
