Fort Worth school board seat up for grabs June 18; early voting ends Tuesday
Early voting for the Fort Worth school board District 4 runoff election ends Tuesday, and Election Day is June 18.
Brian Dixon and Wallace Bridges face each other after no candidate had more than 50% of the vote in the May 7 election.
The District 4 board seat, left vacant by the death of Daphne Brookins in November, represents parts of southeast Fort Worth and includes O. D. Wyatt High School.
Dixon top priorities are to improve reading rates, support teachers and choose the right superintendent.
Bridges said his top policy priorities are to improve reading and math scores, build strong school communities and ensure schools receive the support they deserve.
In the weeks leading up to the election, Bridges called Dixon’s residency into question and filed a complaint with the Fort Worth school district regarding the suspension of Dixon’s voter registration by the Tarrant County Elections Commission. Bridges claims Dixon does not reside in District 4. Dixon, who owns property in the district, has denied the claims.
The District 4 seat expires in 2025.
Information on Election Day and early voting times and locations can be found on the Tarrant County Election’s website.
