Former Fort Worth mayoral candidate Deborah Peoples files to run for City Council
Deborah Peoples, the former Tarrant County Democratic Party chair and two-time mayoral candidate, is taking another crack at a Fort Worth office.
Peoples filed paperwork Feb. 12 to run for the the district 5 city council seat being vacated by Mayor Pro Tem Gyna Bivens.
The district covers areas of the city east of East Loop 820 stretching toward Dallas/Fort Worth Airport. It also includes a handful of neighborhoods west of East Loop 820, including White Lake Hills, Woodhaven, and Stop Six.
Peoples will join a crowded field of six candidates vying for the open seat.
This is Peoples’ fourth attempt running for elected office. Her most recent attempt was in 2022 when she ran unsuccessfully for Tarrant County judge against Tim O’Hare.
Peoples later threatened to sue O’Hare over his assertion her 2022 campaign orchestrated a ballot harvesting campaign.
