Dr. Mia Hall declared victory over opponent Daryl R. Davis II to the applause and cheers of friends, mentors and family Saturday night at her election watch party at Bowlounge.

Unofficial polling data shows Hall leading with 57.12% over Davis’s 42.88% in the race for the Fort Worth City Council District 6 seat. Allof the 19 polling locations are reporting. Hall will fill out-going Council Member Jared Williams’s shoes to represent Southwest Fort Worth and Como.

In the crowd during Hall’s speech of thanks were Council Members Chris Nettles, Michael Crain and Elizabeth Beck and Crowley School Board Members Dr. Nedra Robinson and Chakina Watkins.

Because none of the four candidates — Davis, Hall, Marshall Hobbs and Adrian Smith — received more than 50% of the votes on May 3, the top two vote-getters went to a runoff election.

On May 3, Hall had 46.8% of the votes, followed by Davis with 28.49%, Hobbs with 21.57% and Smith with 3.14%.

Now with early voting results, she leads by nearly 400 votes. There was a 4.47% voter turnout.

Hall said she was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the voters. She was formerly a Crowley ISD Board Trustee and a member of the Fort Worth Zoning Commission.

“It’s been my pleasure to to have served this community in the capacity of a trustee for the last 10 years,” Hall said, “and just to see the voter turnout, and the fact that they are going to bestow or that I may have the opportunity to represent them as the District 6 councilwoman, is just very humbling.”

Hall has promised safe neighborhoods, improved roads and infrastructure, enhanced city services and the fostering of economic development.

“I made promises to our neighbors, and I plan to honor those promises,” Hall said. “Among those were to be responsive and to be accessible, and that’s something that I want to be day one. The other part will be just getting my bearings meeting the other council men and women and me and my colleagues, and just getting my footing underneath me so that we can take the priorities that our District 6 neighbors have made and put them to work quickly, without delay.”

Her opponent in the runoff, Davis, promised well-planned neighborhoods that are safe and affordable to live in.
