Commissioner Garcia? Dallas City Councilwoman Dr. Elba Garcia exploring county commissioner run
I bumped into (literally) the Honorable Elba Garcia at the Super Bowl press conference on Tuesday. I asked her what was next for her now that her time on the Dallas City Council is about to end.
Dr. Garcia stressed (of course) that her priorities lie with the citizens of Dallas, but she did inform me that she is putting together a possible run for Dallas County Commissioner. Dr. Garcia would challenge Republican Ken Mayfield in Commissioner District 4. District 4 includes part of West Dallas, part of Oak Cliff, Mountain Creek, Duncanville and Cedar Hill, and Irving.
An election for the seat is not scheduled until 2010. Stay tuned.
