I met this morning with Pete Gaynor, FEMA’s administrator, to advocate for a disaster declaration for our tornado recovery efforts. FEMA has been working diligently with the City and Dallas ISD to ensure our case is rock solid, and we remain confident we‘ll receive federal assistance.
I haven’t missed an election of any type since I became eligible to vote. It’s not just my civic duty; I owe it to my ancestors who wanted to but couldn’t. I just voted in the special election to replace me in #TxLege. On behalf of my entire family, thank you HD💯 for everything!
Had the opportunity to talk about Dr. King’s dedication to the principle of nonviolence tonight at the 38th annual MLK Gala. Dallas must rededicate itself to the principles that Dr. King espoused.
In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Weekend, I have issued a proclamation to declare 2020 A Year of Nonviolence in the City of Dallas.
We obviously cannot wish violent crime away or eradicate through a proclamation. But we should use this weekend, and the rest of this year, to ask ourselves what we can do to rededicate ourselves to the principles Dr. King espoused.
We had the chance today to honor Jearldine McDonald, a longtime community leader in West Dallas. I was thrilled to thank her for her powerful advocacy for her community and her city! 💯

I am honored to be in South Oak Cliff today for the ribbon cutting ceremony for the NEW South Oak Cliff High School. It is a great day for this community and for all of Dallas!

Discussing ways to increase women and minority contracts, a new disparity study, and other key issues relating to @DFWAirport at the monthly Board meeting this morning. We are always looking for ways to improve the airport, which is the state’s second largest driver of economic activity.

The City Council is out for the holidays, but the Johnson family had a quorum yesterday. Our discussions were robust, and we ultimately reached a unanimous decision on a group hug.
From my family to yours, Merry Christmas!
I was honored to be the keynote speaker at the Preston Road Church of Christ recently. This year, the church was raising funds for Christ’s Family Clinic. The clinic provides medical care for those in need, including victims of human trafficking who are aided by New Friends New Life.
