Daryl R. Davis, II, Statement on Filing for Place on the Ballot for City of Fort Worth, District 6
Just under two weeks ago I joyfully filed for reelection to serve on the Crowley ISD Board of Trustees. Since that time, an unexpected vacancy has occurred on the Fort Worth City Council, District 6. I’ve heard from many members of the community urging me to step up and provide the leadership and vision our district needs at this critical time.
After significant prayer, considerable thought and with the support of my family as well as numerous community leaders, business owners, and most importantly, many voters, I have decided to further pursue my calling in public service as a candidate for Council District 6. Yesterday, I filed for a place on the ballot.
Deciding to run for city council was one of the most challenging journeys of my career in public and elected service. It was not a decision I made lightly, primarily, because I deeply love serving on the Crowley ISD Board of Trustees and being a part of the CISD community.
As school board president I’ve earned the trust of voters by prioritizing transparency, efficiency, accountability, and results. I know that trust must be earned and cultivated as a part of an ongoing process of leading with integrity and with respect to the will of the community I am called to serve. I am seeking your trust again as I seek to serve on the city council, where I will continue to fight for the community’s best interest.
While the city council doesn’t oversee school districts, a strong partnership between the city and CISD, as well as other school districts, is essential for a thriving community. I will continue to be a champion for education and advocate for the initiatives that support students, families and the future of our workforce.
You have my commitment that I will remain fully engaged in CISD board meetings, district activities, and ongoing advocacy efforts until my final day in office as your trustee, proudly serving the best school district in the state.
