Description | By DAVE LEVINTHAL / The Dallas Morning News
Attorney Darrell Jordan ceremonially launched his mayoral campaign Thursday at the Dallas Zoo, outlining an agenda built upon public safety improvements, economic development, long-term urban planning and political – and racial – unity.
"We must have a mayor who listens to differing views, and who is respectful of our city's diversity," said Mr. Jordan, who placed second behind former Mayor Ron Kirk in Dallas' 1995 mayoral election. "We have far too much racial polarization in this city, and we cannot effectively meet the first three priorities unless we return a tone of civility and teamwork to City Hall."
Mr. Jordan joins two-term council member Gary Griffith, former Mayor Pro Tem Max Wells and magazine editor Zac Crain among actively campaigning mayoral hopefuls. The election is in May. Mayor Laura Miller said in July she will not run for a third term. |
