If you didn’t do it early, tomorrow’s the day to cast your vote for the Dallas ISD District 1 trustee who will replace long-time board member Edwin Flores. Read our exit interview with him in the May issue.
It’s been a hotly contested race particularly between DeGoyler dad Michael Greenberg and businesswoman Elizabeth Jones. Greenberg made a final pitch to voters via YouTube. He has a lot of support in the neighborhood for his personal investment in DISD and hands-on involvement in the community. Jones released an open letterthis week to voters, touting her unmatched financial expertise and knowledge of public education; she also has some key endorsements from Flores, the Dallas Morning News, Educate Dallas PAC, council members Ann Margolin and Linda Koop, and “citizen” Mike Rawlings.
There’s been a fair amount of support for the underdog, too – Jennifer Levy, a stay-at-home mom with a special needs child. She recently questioned Mayor Mike Rawlings’ ethics when he, as a citizen, endorsed Jones.
As for Roland Love – he’s still on the ballot but hasn’t really campaigned much.
