FORT WORTH, TX – Crowley ISD Board President, Daryl R. Davis, II, recently filed for Fort Worth’s Council District 6. Davis has received key endorsement from outgoing council member, Dr. Jared Williams, who recently announced he would not be seeking reelection.

Davis was first elected to public office in May of 2022 to serve a three-year term on the Crowley ISD board of trustees, where he was elected by his peers to Assistant Secretary in 2022 and later as board president, the position he currently holds.

In a recently issued statement, Davis shared, “Just under two weeks ago I joyfully filed for re-election 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. … I have decided to further pursue my calling in public service as a candidate for Council District 6.” The complete statement may be found by visiting votedaryldavis.com.

An early and critical win for Davis comes by way of a key endorsement from sitting District 6 council member, Dr. Jared Williams, who expressed his complete confidence in Davis being the best choice for voters. He shares, “Daryl Davis is exactly the leader my family and I will be supporting for District 6. He sees public service as a calling, and it reminds us that our representatives are stewards whose decisions are made best when they are grounded and guided by our common values.”

Williams goes on to say, “He [Davis] has worked tirelessly to ensure that every student in Crowley ISD has access to an excellent education and resources to support their boldest aspirations. I know he will bring that same commitment, experience, and leadership to the Fort Worth City Council.”

In addition to completing his term on the Crowley ISD School Board, Davis also serves as the Executive Pastor of the Inspiring Temple of Praise Church, and as the Vice President of Workforce and Career Development for UpSpire, a social enterprise focused on removing barriers to employment. Davis’ education and business career spans over 20 years, including various key leadership roles in both non and for-profit organizations.

He is a native Texan, and a 43-year resident of Fort Worth, where he lives with his two children, Taylor and Gavin.

The local election will be held on May 3, 2025.
